Heat required to raise 2 kg water from 20°C to 100°C: (c_water = 4200 J/kg·K) MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Heat required to raise 2 kg water from 20°C to 100°C: (c_water = 4200 J/kg·K)
A. 336 kJ
B. 168 kJ
C. 840 kJ
D. 672 kJ
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Q = mcΔT = 2×4200×(100-20) = 2×4200×80 = 672000 J = 672 kJ. Direct calorimetry formula application. Memory tip: 'Q = mcΔT; ΔT in Celsius or Kelvin same'. Basic numerical testing specific heat concept, frequently appearing in thermodynamics sections of competitive exams.

A pump lifts 100 kg of water through 5 m in 2 s. Power (g=10) is
A. 500 W
B. 250 W
C. 2500 W
D. 1000 W

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:

Question #2
The number of significant figures in 0.02040 is
A. 2
B. 5
C. 4
D. 3

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Leading zeros not significant. '2040' – trailing zero after decimal is significant. So digits 2,0,4,0 are significant = 4. Rule: zeros between non-zero and trailing zeros after decimal count.
