Question

Ice and water placed in a closed container at a pressure of 1 atm and temperature 273.15 K. If pressure of the system is increased 2 times, keeping temperature constant, then identify correct observation from following

(A) The amount of ice decreases.
(B) Volume of system increases.
(C) The solid phase (ice) disappears completely.
(D) Liquid phase disappears completely.

Correct answer: C. P = 1 atm T = 273.15 K H2O(s) H2O(l) High volume Low volume On increasing pressure volume decrease so ice melt. So amount of ice decrease and finally disappears completely.
