500 g of water is heated from 30°C to 90°C. What is the change in its internal energy? (Specific heat of water is 4184 J kg-1 K-1)

  • Correct answer
    A
    1.25×105 J
  • B
    2.0×105 J
  • C
    1.3×104 J
  • D
    2.0×104 J

Solution

The formula of change in internal energy in terms of molar specific heat at constant volume and, change in temperature, dU=mCVT2-T1, given, 
dU=5001000×418490°-30°=125520 J. So the change in internal energy, 
dU=1.25×105 J

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
