Concept explainers
In 1801, Humphry Davy rubbed together pieces of ice inside an icehouse. He made sure that nothing in the environment was at a higher temperature than the rubbed pieces. He observed the production of drops of liquid water. Make a table listing this and other experiments or processes to illustrate each of the following situations, (a) A system can absorb energy by heat, increase in internal energy, and increase in temperature, (b) A system can absorb energy by heat and increase in internal energy without an increase in temperature, (c) A system can absorb energy by heat without increasing in temperature or in internal energy, (d) A system can increase in internal energy and in temperature without absorbing energy by heat, (e) A system can increase in internal energy without absorbing energy by heat or increasing in temperature.
