When ice melts, the change in internal energy is greater than the heat supplied. Why ? |
|
Answer» When ice melts, volume of water formed is less than that of ice. So, surroundings (environment) does work on the system (ice). And by first law, ∆Q = ∆ W + ∆U ∆U = ∆Q - ∆ W (∆ W= negative as work is done on the system) ∆U > ∆Q |
