Physics Question on Thermodynamics
1g of a liquid is converted to vapour at 3×105Pa pressure If 10% of the heat supplied is used for increasing the volume by 1600cm3 during this phase change, then the increase in internal energy in the process will be:
A
4800J
B
4320J
C
4.32×108J
D
432000J
Answer
4320J
Explanation
Solution
Work done =PΔV
=3×105×1600×10−6
=480J
Only 10% of heat is used in work done.
Hence ΔQ=4800J
The rest goes in internal energy, which is 90% of heat.
Change in internal energy =0.9×4800=4320J
The correct answer is (B) : 4320 J
