Physics Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry General MCQ (Single Correct)

A thermally insulated, closed copper vessel contains water at 15ºC. When the vessel is shaken vigorously for 15 minutes, the temperature rises to 17ºC. The mass of the vessel is 100g and that of the water is 200g. The specific heat capacities of copper and water are 420 J/kg-K and 4200 J/kg-K respectively. Neglect any thermal expansion.

A
How much heat is transferred to the liquid-vessel system?
B
How much work has been done on this system?
C
How much is the increase in internal energy of the system?

CHECK THE SOLUTION.

Zero, because there is no heat transfer from outside.

W = 100 × 10 –3 × 420 × 2 + 200 × 10 –3 × 4200 × 2 = 1764 J.

Δ U = 1764 J
