You know from your math courses that an infinitesimal segment of a circular arc can be considered as a straight line segment. Imagine that you cover a full circle in, say, the clockwise direction, with infinitesimal displacement vectors dr. Then evaluate fdr and fdr (the circle symbol on the integral just reminds us that we have to go around the full circle).

When 1.00 g of water at 100˚C changes from the liquid to the gas phase at atmospheric pressure, its change in volume is: 1.67 x 10^-3 How much heat is added to vaporize the water? How much work is done by the water against the atmosphere in expansion? What is the change in the internal energy of the water?

1 m3 of pure water is heated from 10˚C to 120˚C at a constant pressure of 1 atm. The volume of the water is contained, but allowed to expand as needed remaining at 1 atm. Calculate the change in enthalpy of the water. You are provided with the following information at the conditions of 1 atm: The density of pure water between 10˚C and 100˚C: 1000kh/m^3 The heat capacity of water: 4.18 kj/kgK Enthalpy required to convert liquid water to gas (enthalpy of vaporization): 2260 kj/kg The heat capacity of steam: 1.7kj/kgk Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic? Why?
