$A$ small quantity,mass $m$,of water at a temperature $\theta$ (in $^oC$) is poured onto a large mass $M$ of ice which is at its melting point. If $c$ is the specific heat of water and $L$ is the latent heat of fusion of ice,then the mass of ice melted is given by

  • A
    $\frac{ML}{mc\theta}$
  • B
    $\frac{mc\theta}{ML}$
  • C
    $\frac{Mc\theta}{L}$
  • D
    $\frac{mc\theta}{L}$

$A$ coffee maker makes coffee by passing steam through a mixture of coffee powder,milk,and water. If the steam is mixed at the rate of $50 \, g/min$ in a mug containing $500 \, g$ of mixture,then it takes about $t_0$ seconds to make coffee at $70^{\circ} C$ when the initial temperature of the mixture is $25^{\circ} C$. The value of $t_0$ is close to .......... $s$ (ratio of latent heat of evaporation to specific heat of water is $540^{\circ} C$ and specific heat of the mixture can be taken to be the same as that of water).

$50 \, g$ of ice at $0^\circ C$ is placed in an insulated vessel. $50 \, g$ of water at $100^\circ C$ is mixed into it. Neglecting heat loss,what is the final temperature of the mixture?

$A$ glass beaker contains $200 \,g$ of carbonated water initially at $20^{\circ} C$. How much ice should be added to obtain the final temperature of $0^{\circ} C$ with all ice melted, if the initial temperature of ice is $-10^{\circ} C$ (in $\,g$)? Neglect the heat capacity of the glass.
[Take, $C_{\text{water}} = 4190 \,J/kg^{\circ} C$, $C_{\text{ice}} = 2100 \,J/kg^{\circ} C$, $L_F = 3.34 \times 10^5 \,J/kg$]

$10\; g$ of ice cubes at $0\;^{\circ} C$ are released in a tumbler (water equivalent $55\; g$) at $40\;^{\circ} C$. Assuming that negligible heat is taken from the surroundings,the temperature (in $^{\circ} C$) of water in the tumbler becomes nearly $(L_f = 80\; cal/g)$.

When $100 \ g$ of boiling water at $100^{\circ} C$ is added into a calorimeter containing $300 \ g$ of cold water at $10^{\circ} C$, the temperature of the mixture becomes $20^{\circ} C$. Then, a metallic block of mass $1 \ kg$ at $10^{\circ} C$ is dipped into the mixture in the calorimeter. After reaching thermal equilibrium, the final temperature becomes $19^{\circ} C$. What is the specific heat of the metal in $C$.$G$.$S$. units?
