  • A
    $40$
  • B
    $80$
  • C
    $100$
  • D

$A$ solution consists of ether and $5.0 \ g$ of water at $0^{\circ} C$. If the ether evaporates completely to freeze the water, then the mass of the ether in the solution is (in $g$)

Match the following according to conversion by heat:
Column-$I$ Column-$II$

Values for latent heat in Column-$I$ and its values are given in Column-$II$. Match the following:
Column-$I$ Column-$II$
$(a)$ Latent heat of vaporization $L_V$ $(i)$ $22.6 \times 10^5 \, J/kg$
$(b)$ Latent heat of fusion $L_f$ $(ii)$ $33.3 \times 10^5 \, J/kg$
$(iii)$ $3.33 \times 10^5 \, J/kg$

Why do we get burnt more by steam than by boiling water at the same temperature?

Two different liquids of the 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 in the liquid states as $C_{L 1}$ and $C_{L 2}$ for materials $1$ and $2$, respectively, and the latent heats of fusion as $L_1$ and $L_2$, respectively. Choose the correct option.
