1. In a swimming pool on a sunny day, water absorbs 2 x109 J of heat from the sun. What is the change in the volume of water? Hint: consider the specific heat and mass density of water.

Step 1
We can use the density of water, which is approximately 1000 kg/m3. Let's assume the pool has a volume of 100 m3, then the mass of water in the pool is: mass = density x volume = 1000 kg/m3 x 100 m3 = 100,000 kg Show more…

The figure shows a swimming pool on a sunny day. If the water absorbs $2.00 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{J}$ of heat from the sun, what is the change in volume of the water?

2. One kilogram of water at 0oC is heated and converted to 100oC. Compute the change in entropy. Specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kgK.

A swimming pool contains 1000 L of water. When the water is warmed by solar energy, its temperature increases from 15.8°C to 22.1°C. How much heat does the water absorb? (Cwater (liquid) = 4.184 J/g°C).
