Heat required to convert $5\ kg$ of ice at $0\ ^oC$ into water at $100\ ^oC$ is:

The thermo $e.m.f.$ produced in a thermocouple is given by the equation $E = 40\theta - \frac{\theta^2}{20}$,where $\theta$ is the temperature difference between the two junctions. The neutral temperature is ............. $^oC$.

Two different liquids of same mass are kept in two identical vessels,which are placed in a freezer that extracts heat from them at the same rate,causing each liquid to transform into a solid. The schematic figure below shows the temperature $T$ versus time $t$ plot for the two materials. We denote the specific heat of materials in the liquid (solid) states to be $C_{L1}$ $(C_{S1})$ and $C_{L2}$ $(C_{S2})$,respectively. Choose the correct option given below.

The temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid becomes equal to the external (atmospheric) pressure is its

Consider two thermometers $T_1$ and $T_2$ of equal length,which can be used to measure temperature over the range $\theta_1$ to $\theta_2$. $T_1$ contains mercury as the thermometric liquid,while $T_2$ contains bromine. The volumes of the two liquids are the same at the temperature $\theta_1$. The volumetric coefficients of expansion of mercury and bromine are $18 \times 10^{-5} \, K^{-1}$ and $108 \times 10^{-5} \, K^{-1}$,respectively. The increase in length of each liquid is the same for the same increase in temperature. If the diameters of the capillary tubes of the two thermometers are $d_1$ and $d_2$,respectively,then the ratio $d_1: d_2$ is closest to:

The resistances of the platinum wire of a platinum resistance thermometer at the ice point and steam point are $8 \Omega$ and $10 \Omega$ respectively. After inserting in a hot bath of temperature $400^{\circ} C$,the resistance of the platinum wire is: (in $\Omega$)
