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) :
- A8.4 kJ
- B4.2 kJ
- C16.7 kJ
- D167.4 kJ
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Given data
- Mass of water:
- Initial temperature:
- Final temperature:
- Temperature rise:
- Specific heat of water:
- Relation for change in internal energy
Ignoring slight expansion of water means work done is negligible, so heat supplied goes almost entirely into increasing internal energy:
- Substitute the values
First compute:
Then,
- Convert to kJ
So the change in internal energy is approximately
- Option check
- A: ❌
- B: ❌
- C: ✅
- D: ❌
Therefore, the correct option is C.
