Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics

Q1:

Which of the following decreases with increase in pressure ?

A Melting point of ice

B Melting point of wax

C Boiling point of liquids

D none of these

ANS:A - Melting point of ice

The correct answer is: Melting point of ice Typically, the melting point of a substance decreases with an increase in pressure. This is because an increase in pressure tends to stabilize the solid phase relative to the liquid phase. However, there are exceptions, especially for substances exhibiting anomalous behavior such as water. But in general, for most substances, an increase in pressure leads to a decrease in the melting point. Therefore, the correct option is "Melting point of ice".
