Find the increase in mass when 1 kg of water is heated from 0°C to 100°C. Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg–1 K–1.

There is a physical significance of special theory of relativity that Energy and mass are interchangeable and that is given by Sir Einstein famous equation E=m

Heat energy given will be converted in the mass



Given:


Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg–1 K–1.
