U is a function of n and T.sparkle123 said: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.
Internal energy is the total energy contained within a system, including both its kinetic and potential energy.
Internal energy is determined by factors such as temperature, pressure, and volume.
This means that other factors, such as pressure and volume, also play a role in determining the internal energy of a system.
Examples include systems with changing volumes, such as expanding gases, or systems with changing pressures, such as a piston-cylinder system.
Considering other factors allows for a more accurate understanding of how internal energy behaves and how it can affect the overall behavior of a system.
