Freezing of water takes place at a temperature and atmospheric pressure of
- 100 ºC, 1 atm
- 1 ºC, 100 atm
- 0 ºC, 100 atm
- 0 ºC, 1 atm
The Correct Option is D
Approach Solution - 1
Water freezes at a specific temperature and pressure. The phase change from liquid to solid occurs at a point known as the freezing point. Under standard atmospheric conditions:
Freezing Point: 0 ºC
Atmospheric Pressure: 1 atm
This is because the molecules in water slow down enough to form a crystalline structure, which results in the transition of water from a liquid state to solid ice. Therefore, considering the options provided, the correct conditions for the freezing of water are:
0 ºC, 1 atm
As a result, the freezing of water takes place in these conditions:
- Temperature of 0 ºC
- Atmospheric Pressure of 1 atm
Approach Solution -2
Concept: Freezing is the process where a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point.
For water, this occurs at:
- Temperature: 0 ºC
- Atmospheric Pressure: 1 atm (standard atmospheric pressure)
Correct Answer: 0 ºC, 1 atm
Top Questions on Thermodynamics
The left and right compartments of a thermally isolated container of length $L$ are separated by a thermally conducting, movable piston of area $A$. The left and right compartments are filled with $\frac{3}{2}$ and 1 moles of an ideal gas, respectively. In the left compartment the piston is attached by a spring with spring constant $k$ and natural length $\frac{2L}{5}$. In thermodynamic equilibrium, the piston is at a distance $\frac{L}{2}$ from the left and right edges of the container as shown in the figure. Under the above conditions, if the pressure in the right compartment is $P = \frac{kL}{A} \alpha$, then the value of $\alpha$ is ____
