    The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2240 J. If the work done in the process of vaporization of 1 g is 168 J, then increase in internal energy will be:

    A)  1904 J                                  

    B)  2072 J                  

    C)        2240 J                                  

    D)  2408 J

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    From first law of thermodynamics, we have           \[{{k}_{1}}\] Which states that if an amount of heat Q is given to a system, a part of it will be used in increasing the internal energy \[{{F}_{1}}=-{{k}_{1}}{{y}_{1}}\] of the         system and the rest in doing work (W).               \[{{F}_{2}}=-{{k}_{2}}{{y}_{2}}\]  We have \[{{k}_{2}}\]             and         \[{{k}_{1}}\] \[{{k}_{2}}{{F}_{1}}+{{k}_{1}}{{F}_{2}}=-{{k}_{1}}{{k}_{2}}({{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}})=-{{k}_{1}}{{k}_{2}}y\]   \[{{F}_{1}}={{F}_{2}}=F(say)\] Note: Internal energy of a system is the energy possessed by the system due to molecular motion and molecular configuration. The energy due to molecular motion is called internal kinetic energy \[({{k}_{1}}+{{k}_{2}})F=-{{k}_{1}}{{k}_{2}}y\] and that due to molecular configuration is called internal potential energy \[{{U}_{p}}\].                               It means    \[\Rightarrow \]
