The gas inside a cylinder expands against a constant external pressure of 1 atm from a volume of 5 L to a volume of 13 L. In doing so, it turns a paddle immersed in 1 L of water and the temperature of the water has increased. Calculate the temperature increase of the water, assuming no loss of heat to the surrounding or frictional losses in the mechanism. Take the density of water to be 1 g/cm3 and its specific heat to be 4.18 J K-1 g-1.

Question
  1. The gas inside a cylinder expands against a constant external pressure of 1 atm from a volume of 5 L to a volume of 13 L. In doing so, it turns a paddle immersed in 1 L of water and the temperature of the water has increased. Calculate the temperature increase of the water, assuming no loss of heat to the surrounding or frictional losses in the mechanism. Take the density of water to be 1 g/cm3 and its specific heat to be 4.18 J K-1 g-1.
