Question:

1g of water, of volume 1 cm$^3$ at 100?C, is converted into steam at same temperature under normal atmospheric pressure ($\simeq$ ) $1\times 10^5$Pa . The volume of steam formed equals 1671 cm$^3$. If the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water is 2256 J/g, the change in internal energy is,

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$Q = \Delta U + W$
$\Rightarrow mL = \Delta U + P(V_2 - V_1)$
$\Rightarrow 1(2256) = \Delta U + 1 \times 10^5 (1670 \times 10^{-6})$
$\Rightarrow \Delta U = 2089 \,J$

Changes of State

A change of state is a physical change in a matter. They are reversible changes and do not involve any changes in the chemical makeup of the matter. Common changes of the state include melting, freezing, sublimation, deposition, condensation, and vaporization.

Changes Between Liquids and Solids:

How would you make ice cubes in a tray? First, you would fill the tray with water from a tap. Then you would place the tray in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator. The freezer is very cold. What happens next?

Freezing

Heat transfer occurs between the warmer tray and the colder air in the freezer. The warm water loses heat to the cold air in the freezer. This heat transfer occurs until no energy is available for the particles to slide past each other. This forces them to remain in fixed positions, locked in place by the force of attraction between them. This way liquid water is changed into solid ice.

Melting

If you took out the ice cubes from the freezer and placed them in a warm room, the ice would absorb energy from the warmer air around them. This absorbed energy would facilitate them to overcome the force of attraction holding them together, enabling them to slip out of the fixed position that they held as ice. The process in which a solids change to a liquid is called melting.
