11.Thermodynamics
medium
$200\,g$ water is heated from $40\,^oC$ to $60\,^oC.$ Ignoring the slight expansion of water, the change in its internal energy is close to ...... $kJ$ (Given specific heat of water $=4184\,J/kgK$ )
A
$167.4$
B
$8.4$
C
$4.2$
D
$16.7$
(JEE MAIN-2016)
Solution
Volume of water does not change, no work is done on or by the system $(W=0)$
According to first law of thermodynamics
$Q = \Delta U + W$
For Isochoric process $Q = \Delta U$
$\Delta U = \mu cdT = 2 \times 4184 \times 20 = 16.7\,kJ.$
