Calorimetry, Latent Heat & Mechanical Equivalent of Heat

200 g water is heated from 40oC to 60oC. Ignoring the slight expansion of water, the change in its internal energy is close to (Given specific heat of water = 4184 J/kg/K):

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. No work done, so ΔU=Q=mcΔT\Delta U = Q = mc\Delta T.
  2. ΔU=0.2×4184×20=16736\Delta U = 0.2 \times 4184 \times 20 = 16736 J
  3. So the answer is (c) 16.7 kJ.
