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

  1. A Internal energy of ice-water system remains unchanged.
  2. B Positive work is done by the ice-water system on the atmosphere.
  3. C Internal energy of the ice-water system decreases.
  4. D Positive work is done on the ice-water system by the atmosphere.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Positive work is done on the ice-water system by the atmosphere.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Volume decreases during melting of ice so positive work is done on ice water system by atmosphere Heat absorbed by ice water so \(\Delta \mathrm{Q}\) is positive, work done by ice water system is negative Hence by first law of thermodynamics…
