Question

For water at 2°C,

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At 2°C, water exists in its solid form (ice), and the density of ice is less than the density of liquid water at the same temperature. Therefore, the specific volume (v) of ice is greater than the specific volume of water. The specific heats of both ice and water at constant pressure (CP) and constant volume (CV) are different, but it is not specified which specific heat values are being referred to in the equation. Hence, we cannot make comparisons between CP and CV in this case. Therefore, based on the given information, C_p < C_v.
