Question

Boiling Water at High Pressure. When water is boiled at a pressure of 2.00 atm, the heat of vaporization is 2.20 X 106 J/kg and the boiling point is 120o C. At this pressure, 1.00 kg of water has a volume of 1.00 X 10-3 m3, and 1.00 kg of steam has a volume of 0.824 m3. (a) Compute the work done when 1.00 kg of steam is formed at this temperature. (b) Compute the increase in internal energy of the water.

Solution

Solution 14E Step 1: 5 The pressure is 2 atm = 2.026 × 10 Pa. The temperature has kept constant. So, when the water of 1 kg changes it’s phase to 1 kg of vapour, The work done is defined as, V f W = PdV V i As the pressure is constant, the work done will be, W = pressure × (final volume initial volume) 5 3 = 2.026 × 10 Pa × (0.824 1 × 10 ) 5 5 = 2.026 × 10 × 0.823 = 1.667 × 10 jules So, this much work will be done. b)
