During the melting of a slab of ice at 273 K at atmospheric pressure:
Show Hint
- Internal energy of ice-water system remains unchanged.
- Positive work is done by the ice-water system on the atmosphere.
- Internal energy of the ice-water system decreases.
- Positive work is done on the ice-water system by the atmosphere.
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Volume decreases during melting of ice so positive work is done on ice water system by atmosphere.
Heat absorbed by ice water so \( \Delta Q \) is positive, work done by ice water system is negative.
Hence by first law of thermodynamics \( \Delta U = \Delta Q + \Delta W = \) Positive So internal energy increases.

- A gas is kept in a container having walls which are thermally non-conducting. Initially the gas has a volume of 800 $ cm^3 $ and temperature 27°C. The change in temperature when the gas is adiabatically compressed to 200 $ cm^3 $ is: (Take $ \gamma $ = 1.5 : $ \gamma $ is the ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and at constant volume)

A piston of mass M is hung from a massless spring whose restoring force law goes as F = -kx, where k is the spring constant of appropriate dimension. The piston separates the vertical chamber into two parts, where the bottom part is filled with 'n' moles of an ideal gas. An external work is done on the gas isothermally (at a constant temperature T) with the help of a heating filament (with negligible volume) mounted in lower part of the chamber, so that the piston goes up from a height $ L_0 $ to $ L_1 $, the total energy delivered by the filament is (Assume spring to be in its natural length before heating)
