Steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is passed into $1 \ kg$ of water contained in a calorimeter of water equivalent $0.2 \ kg$ at $9^{\circ} C$ until the temperature of the calorimeter and water in it increases to $90^{\circ} C$. The mass of steam condensed in $kg$ is nearly (specific heat of water $= 1 \ cal/g^{\circ} C$, latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 \ cal/g$)

$10 \, g$ of ice at $0 \, ^oC$ is mixed with $m \, g$ of water at $50 \, ^oC$. What is the minimum value of $m$ (in $g$) so that the ice melts completely? (Given: $L_f = 80 \, cal/g$ and $S_W = 1 \, cal/g \cdot ^oC$)

$A$ water heater of power $2000\,W$ is used to heat water. The specific heat capacity of water is $4200\,J\,kg^{-1}\,K^{-1}$. The efficiency of the heater is $70\%$. The time required to heat $2\,kg$ of water from $10^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ is $..........s$. (Assume that the specific heat capacity of water remains constant over the temperature range).

$A$ thermos flask contains $250 \ g$ of coffee at $90^{\circ} C$. To this $20 \ g$ of milk at $5^{\circ} C$ is added. After equilibrium is established, the temperature of the liquid is (Assume no heat loss to the thermos bottle. Take specific heat of coffee and milk as $1.00 \ cal/g^{\circ} C$) (in $^{\circ} C$)

Three liquids with masses $m_1, m_2, m_3$ are thoroughly mixed. If their specific heats are $c_1, c_2, c_3$ and their temperatures are $T_1, T_2, T_3$ respectively,then the temperature of the mixture is
