Explanation:
Relation between pressure, latent heat of fusion, and change in volume is as follows.
Also,
where, is the difference in specific volumes.
Hence,
As, = 22.0 J/mol K
And, ...... (1)
where, = density of water
= density of ice
M = molar mass of water =
Therefore, using formula in equation (1) we will calculate the volume of fusion as follows.
=
=
Therefore, calculate the required pressure as follows.
=
or, = 145 bar/K
Hence, for change of 1 degree pressure the decrease is 145 bar and for 4.7 degree change dP =
= 681.5 bar
Thus, we can conclude that pressure should be increased by 681.5 bar to cause 4.7 degree change in melting point.
