Calculate the heat required to convert $3 \; kg$ of ice at $-12 \; ^{\circ}C$ kept in a calorimeter to steam at $100 \; ^{\circ}C$ at atmospheric pressure. Given: specific heat capacity of ice $= 2100 \; J \; kg^{-1} \; K^{-1}$,specific heat capacity of water $= 4186 \; J \; kg^{-1} \; K^{-1}$,latent heat of fusion of ice $= 3.35 \times 10^{5} \; J \; kg^{-1}$,and latent heat of steam $= 2.256 \times 10^{6} \; J \; kg^{-1}$.

  • A
    $9.1 \times 10^{6} \; J$
  • B
    $2.4 \times 10^{4} \; J$
  • C
    $6.2 \times 10^{5} \; J$
  • D
    $8.6 \times 10^{7} \; J$

$500\, g$ of water and $100\, g$ of ice at $0\,^{\circ}C$ are in a calorimeter whose water equivalent is $40\, g$. $10\, g$ of steam at $100\,^{\circ}C$ is added to it. Then the final amount of water in the calorimeter is ....... $g$ (Latent heat of ice $= 80\, cal/g$,Latent heat of steam $= 540\, cal/g$).

During summers in India,one of the common practices to keep cool is to make ice balls of crushed ice,dip them in flavoured sugar syrup,and sip them. For this,a stick is inserted into crushed ice,and it is squeezed in the palm to make it into a ball. Equivalently in winter,in those areas where it snows,people make snowballs and throw them around. Explain the formation of a ball out of crushed ice or snow in the light of the $p-T$ diagram of water.

The thermo $e.m.f.$ of a thermocouple varies with the temperature $\theta$ of the hot junction as $E = a\theta + b\theta^2$ in volts,where the ratio $a/b$ is $700\,^{\circ}C$. If the cold junction is kept at $0\,^{\circ}C$,then the neutral temperature is:

$A$ geyser heats water flowing at a rate of $2.0 \; kg$ per minute from $30^{\circ} C$ to $70^{\circ} C$. If the geyser operates on a gas burner,the rate of combustion of fuel will be $\dots \; g \min^{-1}$.
[Heat of combustion $= 8 \times 10^{3} \; J \cdot g^{-1}$,Specific heat of water $= 4.2 \; J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$]

An iron rod of heat capacity $C$ is heated to temperature $8T_0$. It is then put in a cylindrical vessel of adiabatic walls having two moles of air which can be treated as a diatomic ideal gas at temperature $T_0$ and closed by a movable piston which is also adiabatic. The atmospheric pressure is $P_0$. The cylinder with the piston combined have a heat capacity $2C$. Find the equilibrium temperature. (Assume the temperature of air to be uniform and equal to the vessel at all times).
