$A$ mass $m$ of material exists in its solid state at its melting temperature $0^\circ C$. The following processes occur to the material:
Process-$1$: An amount of thermal energy $Q$ is added to the material, and $\frac{2}{3}$ of the material melts.
Process-$2$: An identical additional amount of thermal energy $Q$ is added to the material, and the material is now a liquid at $40^\circ C$.
What is the ratio of the latent heat of fusion $(L)$ to the specific heat of the liquid $(s)$ for this material?

  • A
    $120$
  • B
    $60$
  • C
    $40$

The heat extracted out of $x \ \text{g}$ of water initially at $50^\circ \text{C}$ to cool it down to $0^\circ \text{C}$ is sufficient to evaporate $(1000 - x) \ \text{g}$ of water also initially at $50^\circ \text{C}$. The value of $x$ (closest integer) is . . . . . . . (Take latent heat of water $L = 2256 \ \text{kJ/kg}$, specific heat capacity of water $c = 4200 \ \text{J/kg}\cdot \text{K}$)

Find the quantity of heat required to convert $40 \; g$ of ice at $-20^{\circ} C$ into water at $20^{\circ} C$. Given $L_{\text{ice}} = 0.336 \times 10^6 \; J/kg$,specific heat of ice $= 2100 \; J/kg \cdot K$,and specific heat of water $= 4200 \; J/kg \cdot K$. (in $; J$)
