A sample of 0.1g of water at 100 oC and normal pressure 1.013×105 N m-2 requires 54cal of heat energy to convert to steam at 100 oC. If the volume of the steam produced is 167.1cc, the change in internal energy of the sample, is
  1. 42.2J
  2. 208.7J
  3. 104.3J
  4. 84.5J

Solution

The values are given in the above question, Q=54 cal=54×4.18 joule=225.72 joule
W=PVsteam-VwaterFor water 0.1 gram=0.1 cc
W=1.013×105167.1×10-6-0.1×10-6 joule
W=1.013×167×10-1=16.917 joule
. By first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy, 
U=Q-W=225.72-16.917=208.8 J
