$A$ $10 \ W$ electric heater is used to heat a container filled with $0.5 \ kg$ of water. It is found that the temperature of the water and the container rises by $3 \ K$ in $15 \ min$. The container is then emptied, dried, and filled with $2 \ kg$ of oil. The same heater now raises the temperature of the container-oil system by $2 \ K$ in $20 \ min$. Assuming that there is no heat loss in the process and the specific heat of water is $4200 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$, the specific heat of oil in the same unit is equal to:

  • A
    $1.50 \times 10^{3}$
  • B
    $2.55 \times 10^{3}$
  • C
    $3.00 \times 10^{3}$
  • D
    $5.10 \times 10^{3}$

Ice at $0^oC$ is added to $200\,g$ of water initially at $70^oC$ in a vacuum flask. When $50\,g$ of ice has been added and has all melted,the temperature of the flask and contents is $40^oC$. When a further $80\,g$ of ice has been added and has all melted,the temperature of the whole is $10^oC$. Calculate the specific latent heat of fusion of ice. [Take $S_w = 1\,cal/g^oC$.]

$M$ grams of steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is mixed with $200 \; g$ of ice at its melting point in a thermally insulated container. If it produces liquid water at $40^{\circ} C$ [heat of vaporization of water is $540 \; cal/g$ and heat of fusion of ice is $80 \; cal/g$],the value of $M$ is:

Which of the following materials is used to make a calorimeter?

The water equivalent of a calorimeter is $10 \ g$ and it contains $50 \ g$ of water at $15^{\circ} C$. Some amount of ice, initially at $-10^{\circ} C$, is dropped in it and half of the ice melts till equilibrium is reached. What was the initial amount of ice that was dropped (given specific heat of ice $= 0.5 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$, specific heat of water $= 1.0 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$ and latent heat of melting of ice $= 80 \ cal \ g^{-1}$) (in $g$)?

Two identical bodies are made of a material for which the heat capacity increases with temperature. One of these is held at a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$,while the other one is kept at $0^{\circ} C$. If the two are brought into contact,then assuming no heat loss to the environment,the final temperature that they will reach is
