$A$ copper block of mass $2.5\; kg$ is heated in a furnace to a temperature of $500\; ^{\circ}C$ and then placed on a large ice block. What is the maximum amount of ice (in $kg$) that can melt? (Specific heat of copper $= 0.39\; J\; g^{-1}\; K^{-1}$; heat of fusion of water $= 335\; J\; g^{-1}$)

An amount of ice of mass $10^{-3} \ kg$ and temperature $-10^{\circ} C$ is transformed to vapour of temperature $110^{\circ} C$ by applying heat. The total amount of heat required for this conversion is,(Take,specific heat of ice $= 2100 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$,specific heat of water $= 4180 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$,specific heat of steam $= 1920 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$,Latent heat of ice $= 3.35 \times 10^5 \ J \ kg^{-1}$ and Latent heat of steam $= 2.25 \times 10^6 \ J \ kg^{-1}$) (in $J$)

$A$ flask of volume $10^3 \ cc$ is completely filled with mercury at $0 \, ^oC$. The coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury is $180 \times 10^{-6} / ^oC$ and that of glass is $40 \times 10^{-6} / ^oC$. If the flask is now placed in boiling water at $100 \, ^oC$,how much mercury (in $cc$) will overflow?

$A$ hailstone at $0^{\circ}C$ falls from a height of $1\, km$ on an insulating surface,converting the whole of its kinetic energy into heat. What part of it will melt? (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$,$J = 4.2\, J/cal$,and latent heat of fusion of ice $L = 80\, cal/g = 80 \times 10^3\, cal/kg$)

$A$ child running a temperature of $101\,^{\circ} F$ is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to $98\,^{\circ} F$ in $20$ minutes,what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused by the drug (in $g/min$)? Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is $30\; kg$. The specific heat of the human body is approximately the same as that of water,and the latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about $580\; cal \;g^{-1}$.
