A container is filled with ice in a pressure of 1 atm.
The container is in a bath that keep its Temperature constant - 273.15 K.
We cover the ice with a piston, and we press the piston with 100 atm.
We wait until the system reaches equilibrium.

Given is:
delta(fus)Hm = 6 [kj/mol]
dVm (ice->water) = -1.73 [cm^3/mol]

What is the process that will happen, when the pressure is applied on the piston (Choose only one):
a) Temperature will increase
b) Ice will melt
c) System will go back to equilibrium by decreasing its Temperature
d) Nothing will happen
e) Sublimation will occur

Additional Details
b) By how many Kelvin degrees (in Absolute value) we should cool the system at a pressure of 100 atm, for that the water will refreeze?

Is this a physics problem? Undecided

What is the process that will happen, when the pressure is applied on the piston (Choose only one):

a) Temperature will increase
b) Ice will melt

c) System will go back to equilibrium by decreasing its Temperature
d) Nothing will happen
e) Sublimation will occur

The Standard Gas Law; PV=nrt shows, by inspection, if no other variable changes, pressure decrease will result in temperature decrease. And, of course, vice versa.

I'm really not too sure. Confounded Face

Which one is correct then? Sorry, I'm not a physics person. It could even be (E), but I would have to perform some calculation to show it.
