The latent heat of vaporisation of water is \(2240 \mathrm{~J}\). If the work done in the process of vaporisation of \(1 \mathrm{~g}\) is \(168 \mathrm{~J}\), the increase in internal energy is

  1. A 2408 J
  2. B 1408 J
  3. C 2072 J
  4. D 2208 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2072 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the heat supplied \(Q\) is equal to the sum of the change in internal energy \(\Delta U\) and the work done \(W\) by the system during the process of vaporisation. \(Q = \Delta U + W\) Given that the latent heat of vaporisation…
