During the melting of a slab of ice at 273 K at atmospheric pressure :
Pick an option to check your answer.
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
\(\Delta \mathrm{U}=\Delta \mathrm{Q}+\Delta \mathrm{W}=\text { Positive }\)
So internal energy increases

- If one mole of an ideal gas at \(\left( P _{1}, V _{1}\right)\) is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally (\(A\) to \(B\) ) its pressure is reduced to one-half of the original pressure (see \(figure\)). This is followed by a constant volume cooling till its pressure is reduced to one-fourth of the initial value \(( B \rightarrow C ) .\) Then it is restored to its initial state by a reversible adiabatic compression (\(C\) to \(A\)). The net workdone by the gas is equal to ...... .
