A closed bottle contains a liquid. The bottle is shaken vigorously for 5 minutes. It is found that the temperature of the liquid is increased. Is heat transferred to the liquid? Is work done on the liquid. Neglect expansion on heating.

I think the temperature increases due to the internal viscous force of the liquid. Heat is not transferred to the liquid as the bottle is closed and no work is done the the liquid because change in volume is 0.

Shaking the bottle transfers energy (from the person or thing shaking) to the contents.

Do you mean the muscular energy of the person (shaking) is converted into kinetic energy of the liquid and consequently heat energy? So heat is transferred and work is done on the liquid.
Is it right?

Kinetic energy is definitely imparted to the fluid, but no work is done (assuming that at the end, the fluid is at rest and has not been raised or lowered). The kinetic energy is dissipated by viscous flow and converted into heat energy.

Yes. It is a bit tricky. There is no heat flow into the liquid yet its temperature increases. From the first law: dQ = dU + dW so if dQ = 0 then dW = -dU. So work is done on the liquid. It is just that the work is converted to heat.

This is similar to the Joule paddle experiment.

Thankyou!
 

1. Why does shaking a bottle with liquid increase its temperature?

Shaking a bottle with liquid increases its temperature because it causes the molecules in the liquid to move faster and collide with each other, creating friction and generating heat.

2. Can shaking a bottle with liquid cause it to freeze faster?

No, shaking a bottle with liquid will not cause it to freeze faster. In fact, shaking the bottle will add more energy to the molecules in the liquid, making them more likely to stay in their liquid state rather than freeze.

3. How does shaking a bottle with liquid affect its pressure?

Shaking a bottle with liquid can increase its pressure, as the movement of the liquid molecules creates more collisions with the walls of the bottle. This increase in pressure can be seen when opening a shaken bottle of carbonated drink, as the pressure is released in the form of bubbles.

4. Is there a limit to how much the temperature of liquid can increase by shaking?

Yes, there is a limit to how much the temperature of liquid can increase by shaking. This is due to the principle of energy conservation in thermodynamics, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. Therefore, the increase in temperature from shaking is limited by the amount of energy that can be transferred to the liquid.

5. Can shaking a bottle with liquid change its chemical composition?

No, shaking a bottle with liquid will not change its chemical composition. While the movement of molecules may cause some chemical reactions to occur, these reactions will not change the overall composition of the liquid. The molecules will remain the same, just with increased energy and possibly different arrangements.
