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.
Top Questions on Thermodynamics
- Two gases A and B are filled at the same pressure in separate cylinders with movable pistons of radii \(r_A\) and \(r_B\) respectively. On supplying an equal amount of heat to both the cylinders, their pressures remain constant and their pistons are displaced by 16 cm and 9 cm respectively. If the change in their internal energies is the same, then the ratio \(r_A / r_B\) is:
