Question
The molar heat capacity of water at constant pressure, $${C_p}$$ is $$75\,J\,{K^{ - 1}}mo{l^{ - 1}}.$$ When $$10\,kJ$$ of heat is supplied to $$1\,kg$$ water which is free to expand, the increase in temperature of water is
A.
2.4$$\,K$$
B.
4.8$$\,K$$
C.
3.2$$\,K$$
D.
10$$\,K$$
Answer :
2.4$$\,K$$
Solution :
$${q_p} = n{C_p}\Delta T;{q_p} = 10\,kJ\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,10000\,J$$
$${C_p} = 75\,J\,{K^{ - 1}}\,mo{l^{ - 1}}.$$ $${\text{No}}{\text{. of moles}},\,n = \frac{{1000}}{{18}} = 55.5\,mol$$
$$\Delta T = \frac{{10000}}{{55.5 \times 75}} = 2.4\,K$$
