When ice melts, the change in internal energy is greater than the heat supplied. Why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why the change in internal energy (ΔU) when ice melts is greater than the heat supplied (Q), we can analyze the situation using the first law of thermodynamics and the properties of ice and water. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the First Law of Thermodynamics**: The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy (ΔU) of a system is equal to the heat added to the system (Q) minus the work done by the system (W): \[ \Delta U = Q - W ...
