Unit mass of a liquid with volume V1 is completely changed into a gas of volume V2 at a constant external pressure ρ at temperature T. If the latent heat of evaporation is L, then the increase in the internal energy of the system is

a
zero
b
pV2−V1
c
L−pV2−V1
d
L

detailed solution

Correct option is C

First law of thermodynamics given,  ΔQ=ΔU+pΔV⇒ mL=ΔU+pV2−V1⇒ ΔU=L−pV2−V1   (∵m=1)
