Practice question

**Specific heat capacity** c = Q/(m ΔT) (J/kg·K), molar C = Q/(n ΔT), heat required to raise temperature, Q = m c ΔT, for water c=4186 J/kg·K, latent heat L = Q/m for phase change at constant temperature, fusion L_f and vaporization L_v, Q = m L, e.g., ice melting L_f=3.34×10⁵ J/kg, water vaporization 2.26×10⁶ J/kg. In an adiabatic process ( Δ Q = 0 ), temperature can change (e.g., decreases during expansion), as internal energy adjusts via work ( Δ U = -Δ W ). Option B is incorrect as temperature is not constant. Using first law ΔU = Q - W, W =
