1 g of water at 100^(@)C is converted into steam at the same temperature. If the volume of steam is 1671 cc find the change in internal energy of the system. Latent heat of steam =2256 J g ^(-1).

Answer»

Solution :According to first law of thermodynamics
`dQ = dU + PdV`
`mL = dU + P( VS - Vw)`
Mass of water `= m = 1 g = 10 ^(-3) kg `
Latent heat of STEAM `= L = 2256 Jg ^(-1) = 2256 XX 10 ^(3) Jkg ^(-1)`
Changle in internal energy ` = dU = ?`
Atmospheric pressure ` = P = 1. 013 xx 10^(5) Nm ^(-2)`
Volume of steam `V_(s) = 1671 c c = 1671 xx 10 ^(-6) m ^(3)`
Volume fo water `V_(w) = ( "mass")/("density") = (10 ^(-3))/( 10 ^(3)) = 10 ^(-6) m ^(3)`
`dU = mL - P (Vs - vW)`
`= 10^(-3) xx 2256 xx 10 ^(3) - 1. 013 xx 10 ^(5) (1617 xx 10 ^(-5) - 10 ^(-6))`
`= 1156 - 1.013 xx 10 ^(5) xx 10 ^(-6) xx 1670`
`= 2256 - 169.171 = 2086 . 829 J`
