MCQ
When water is heated from $0$ to $4\,^oC$
  • A
    ${C_p}\, = \,{C_v}$
  • B
    ${C_p}\, > \,{C_v}$
  • ${C_p}\, < \,{C_v}$
  • D
    ${C_p}\, - \,{C_v}=R$

Answer

Correct option: C.
${C_p}\, < \,{C_v}$
c
Water has highest density at $4^{\circ} C$. This changes its properties from other simple fluids.

When water is heated from $0^{\circ} C$ to $4^{\circ} C$, the volume of liquid decreases.

Thus for this transition, $P \Delta V$ is negative.

$\int C_p d T=\int C_V d T+P \Delta V$

$\Rightarrow C_P < C_V$
