Practice question

**Latent heat** energy needed for phase change without temperature change, overcomes intermolecular forces, e.g., heating ice at 0°C to water at 0°C requires 334 kJ/kg, then heating water to 100°C requires c ΔT, then vaporization 2260 kJ/kg, illustrating two types of heat. Adiabatic: Δ Q = 0 , Δ U = -Δ W . Work by gas: Δ W = 450 J . Δ U = -450 J (internal energy decreases). Using first law ΔU = Q - W, W = ∫ P dV, isobaric W = P ΔV, isothermal W = n R T ln(V₂/V₁), adiabatic P V^γ = const and η = 1
