    Water is brought to boil under a pressure of\[1.0\,\,atm\]. When an electric current of \[0.50\,\,A\] from a \[12\,\,V\] supply is passed for \[300\,\,s\] through a resistance in thermal contact with it, it is found that \[0.798\,\,g\] of water is vaporised. Calculate the molar internal energy change at boiling point\[(373.15\,\,K)\].

    A) \[375\,\,kJ\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    B) \[3.75\,\,kJ\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    C) \[42.6\,\,kJ\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    D)  \[4.26\,\,kJ\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\Delta H=\]work done\[=i\times V\times t\]                 \[=0.50\times 12\times 300\]                 \[=1800\,\,J=1.8\,\,kJ\] Molar enthalpy of vaporisation,                 \[\Delta {{H}_{m}}=\frac{\Delta H}{mole\,\,\,of\,\,{{H}_{2}}O}=\frac{\Delta H}{{{n}_{{{H}_{2}}O}}}\]                 \[=\frac{1.8\,\,kJ}{\frac{0.798}{18}}=40.6\,\,kJ\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]                 \[\Delta {{H}_{m}}=\Delta {{E}_{m}}+p\Delta V\]                 \[\Delta {{H}_{m}}=\Delta {{E}_{m}}+\Delta {{n}_{g}}RT\]                 \[\Delta {{H}_{m}}=\Delta {{E}_{m}}+RT\]                 \[[\therefore \,\,\Delta {{\nu }_{g}}=1\,\,for\,\,{{H}_{2}}O(l){{H}_{2}}O(g)]\] \[\therefore \]  Molar internal energy change,                 \[\Delta {{E}_{m}}=\Delta {{H}_{m}}-RT\]                 \[\Delta {{E}_{m}}=40.6-8.314\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 373.15\]                 \[=37.5\,\,kJ\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]
