Heat and Thermal ExpansionHard

Question

During the melting  of a slab of ice at 273 K at atmosphere pressure : -

Options

A.Positive work is done by the ice - water system on the atmosphere.
B.Positive work is done on the ice water system by the atmosphere.
C.The internal energy of ice - water system increase.
D.The internal energy of the ice - water system decreases.

Solution

Q = ᐃU + W
Q = + ve, as heat is absorbed from the atmosphere
W= - ve as the volume decrease
∴ ᐃU = Q - W = + ve - (-ve) = +ve
∴ internal energy increase.
