Assuming a domestic refrigerator as a reversible heat engine working between melting point Of ice and the room temperature at 27°C, calculate the energy in joule that must be supplied to freeze 1Kg of water at 0°C. |

Answer» Here T1 = 27+273 =300K , T2 =0 +273 = 273 Mass of water to be freezed , M = 1 Kg = 1000g Amount of heat that should be removed to freeze the water Q2 = ML =1000X 80 cal = 1000X80 X4.2 =3.36 x 105 J Now Q1 = (T1/T2 )X Q2 = (300/273)X3.36x105 = 3.692 x105 J Therefore energy supplied to freeze the water W =Q1 – Q2 = 3.693x105 - 3.36 x105 = 3.32 x105 J |
