    1 g of water on evaporation at atmospheric pressure forms\[1671\text{ }c{{m}^{3}}\]of steam. Heat of vaporisation at this pressure is\[540\text{ }cal\text{ }{{g}^{-1}}\]. The increase in internal energy is

    A)  250 cal                 

    B)  500 cal

    C)  1000 cal              

    D)  1500 cal

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     1 g of water \[\Rightarrow \]1 cc of water                 Volume of liquid\[={{V}_{L}}=1\,cc={{10}^{-6}}{{m}^{3}}\]                 Volume of vapours                 \[={{V}_{V}}=1671\,cc=1671\times {{10}^{-6}}{{m}^{3}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]\[\Delta V={{V}_{V}}-{{V}_{L}}=1670\times {{10}^{-6}}{{m}^{3}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]\[W=p\Delta V={{10}^{5}}(1670\times {{10}^{-6}})=167\,J\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]\[W=\frac{167}{4.18}cal=40\,cal\]                 Further, \[Q=mL\]                 \[\Rightarrow \] \[Q=(1g)\,(540\,cal\,{{g}^{-1}})=540\,cal\]                 According to first law of thermodynamics                 \[Q=\Delta U+W\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[540=\Delta U+40\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\Delta U=500\,cal\]
