Reading Quiz Ch 18 (The Micro/Macro Connection)
Reading Question 18.07
Part A
A large –20∘C ice cube is dropped into a super-insulated container holding a small amount of 5∘C water,
then the container is sealed. Ten minutes later, the temperature of the ice (and any water that has melted
from the ice) will be warmer than –20∘C. This is a consequence of
The first law of thermodynamics.
Both the first and the second laws.
Joule's law.
The second law of thermodynamics.
The third law of thermodynamics.
