Answer:
Explanation:
From the information given:
Mass of carbon tetrachloride = 5 kg
Pressure = 1 bar
The given density for carbon tetrachloride = 1590 kg/m³
The specific heat of carbon tetrachloride = 0.84 kJ/kg K
From the composition, the initial volume of carbon tetrachloride will be:
= 0.0031 m³
Suppose is independent of temperature while pressure is constant;
Then:
The change in volume can be expressed as:
However; the workdone = -PdV
W = - 7.6 J
The heat energy Q = Δ h
Q = 84 kJ
The internal energy is calculated by using the 1st law of thermodynamics; which can be expressed as;
ΔU = ΔQ + W
ΔU = 84 kJ + ( -7.6 × 10⁻³ kJ)
ΔU = 83.992 kJ
