Step-by-Step Verified Solution

To find the change in internal energy, we need to consider both the heat added during the process and the work done during the process.

First, let's calculate the heat added ( QQ ) to convert 1 kg of water at 100°C into steam at 100°C using the latent heat of vaporization:

Q=m×LQ = m \times L

where m=1 kgm = 1 \mathrm{~kg} and L=2257 kJ/kgL = 2257 \mathrm{~kJ/kg} :

Q=1 kg×2257 kJ/kg=2257 kJQ = 1 \mathrm{~kg} \times 2257 \mathrm{~kJ/kg} = 2257 \mathrm{~kJ}

Next, let's calculate the work done ( WW ) on the system during the process. The work done is given by:

W=−PΔVW = -P \Delta V

where PP is the atmospheric pressure and ΔV\Delta V is the change in volume. We are given that the atmospheric pressure is P=1×105 PaP = 1 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~Pa} , and the change in volume is

ΔV=1.671 m3−1.00×10−3 m3=1.670 m3\Delta V = 1.671 \mathrm{~m}^3 - 1.00 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^3 = 1.670 \mathrm{~m}^3 .

Now, we can calculate the work done:

W=−(1×105 Pa)(1.670 m3)=−167000 J=−167 kJW = -(1 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~Pa})(1.670 \mathrm{~m}^3) = -167000 \mathrm{~J} = -167 \mathrm{~kJ}

Finally, we can find the change in internal energy ( ΔU\Delta U ) using the first law of thermodynamics:

ΔU=Q+W\Delta U = Q + W

Substitute the values of QQ and WW :

ΔU=2257 kJ−167 kJ=2090 kJ\Delta U = 2257 \mathrm{~kJ} - 167 \mathrm{~kJ} = 2090 \mathrm{~kJ}

The change in internal energy of the system during the process is +2090 kJ.
