STANDARD Chemistry Heat Capacity MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

The molar heat capacity of water at constant pressure, Cₚ is 75 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹. When 10 kJ of heat is supplied to 1 kg water which is free to expand, the increase in temperature of water is

A

2.4 K

B

4.8 K

C

3.2 K

D

10 K

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The heat supplied is qₚ = 10 kJ = 10000 J. The number of moles of water is n = 1000/18 = 55.5 mol. Using the formula ΔT = qₚ / (nCₚ), we get ΔT = 10000 / (55.5 × 75) = 2.4 K.
