Which among the following statements is incorrect?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The melting point of ice decreases with decrease in pressure.
- Actually, the melting point of ice decreases with an increase in pressure, not a decrease. This phenomenon is known as the "pressure melting point depression."
- When pressure is applied to ice, it lowers the temperature at which ice can exist in equilibrium with liquid water.
