Solution

The correct option is C 50 kJ
From 1st law of thermodynamics,
Q=ΔU+W
or ΔU=QW
Now, net heat supplied to the system
Q=mCΔT+mL
=(201000×4200×100)+201000×2.3×106
=8400+46000=54400 J
Work done W=PΔV=P(V2V1)=P(mρ2mρ1)
=100×103[0.020.50.021000]
4000 J
[density of water =1000 kg/m3]
So, ΔU=QW
=544004000=50400
=5.04×104 J
50 kJ
