Question

Molar heat capacity of water at constant pressure is 75JK1mole1 . When 2 kJ of heat is provided to 200g of water which is free to expand, the increase in temperature is

Moderate
Solution

Cp=75JK1mole1

18g  'H2O'....    75J

200g  'H2O'....   'C'J

C=200×7518Joules

Given   q = 2 kJ

            q = 2000J

Cp=qpΔT

ΔT=qpCp=2000200×75×18=2.4K
