Question

The molar heat capacity of water at constant pressure, C, is 75 JK–1 mol–1. When 1.0KJ of heat is supplied to 100g of water which is free to expand, the increase in temperature of water is

Moderate
Solution

q = m Cp ΔT

q = 1KJ =1000J ;

 C_p = 75 JK^{-1} mol^{-1} =\frac{75}{18} JK^{-1} gm^{-1}( since Molecular weight of water = 18gm)
\large \1000 = \;100 \times \;\frac{{75}}{{18}}\;\Delta T\
ΔT = 2.4 K
