Homework Statement


Why is this false?
"if systems A and B each consist of pure liquid water at 1 bar pressure and if TA>TB, then the internal energy of system A must be greater than that of B"


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


It seems true to me. Could it be that B has more molecular translational, rational, vibrational, electronic energies? but then wouldn't t be higher?
also i thought U was a function of T.

U is a function of n and T.
