The volume of of water in the liquid state at
is
. The volume of
of water vapour at
and atmospheric pressure
is
.
Show that the work done against the atmosphere when of liquid water becomes water vapour is
.
The first law of thermodynamics may be given by the expression
where is the increase in internal energy of the system. State what is meant by
: ..............................................................
: ..............................................................
The specific latent heat of vaporisation of water at is
. A mass of
of liquid water becomes water vapour at
. Determine, using your answer in (a), the increase in internal energy of this mass of water during vaporisation.
