Determine the increase in mass when of water is heated from 0^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C} to 100^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}. The specific heat capacity of water is given as .
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The heat energy required to raise the temperature of water is given by .
Substituting the given values:
According to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence principle, . Since the heat supplied increases the internal energy of the water, .
Therefore, the increase in mass is:
Substituting the values of and the speed of light :
