The heat required to change $1 \,kg$ of ice at $-8^{\circ} C$ into water at $20^{\circ} C$ at $1 \,atm$ of pressure is closest to .............$\,kJ$. (Assume that ice has a specific heat capacity $2.1 \,kJ / kg \cdot K$,water has a specific heat capacity $4.2 \,kJ / kg \cdot K$,and the latent heat of fusion of ice is $333 \,kJ / kg$.)

Which of the following graphs shows the variation of thermoelectric power of a thermocouple with the temperature difference between the hot and cold junctions?

$A$ solid cube of mass $m$ at a temperature $\theta_0$ is heated at a constant rate. It becomes liquid at temperature $\theta_1$ and vapour at temperature $\theta_2$. Let $s_1$ and $s_2$ be specific heats in its solid and liquid states respectively. If $L_f$ and $L_v$ are latent heats of fusion and vaporisation respectively,then the minimum heat energy supplied to the cube until it vaporises is

$A$ calorimeter of mass $0.2 \ kg$ and specific heat $900 \ J/kg \cdot K$ contains $0.5 \ kg$ of a liquid of specific heat $2400 \ J/kg \cdot K$. Its temperature falls from $60^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$ in one minute. The rate of cooling is ....... $J/s$.

$A$ $20 \,g$ bullet whose specific heat is $5000 \,J/(kg \cdot ^{\circ}C)$ and moving at $2000 \,m/s$ plunges into a $1.0 \,kg$ block of wax whose specific heat is $3000 \,J/(kg \cdot ^{\circ}C)$. Both the bullet and the wax are at $25^{\circ}C$. Assuming that $(i)$ the bullet comes to rest in the wax and $(ii)$ all its kinetic energy is converted into heat,the final temperature of the wax (in $^{\circ}C$) is close to:

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 $= 2.256 \times 10^{6} \; J \; kg^{-1}$.
