The temperatures of equal masses of three different liquids $x$,$y$,and $z$ are $10^{\circ}C$,$20^{\circ}C$,and $30^{\circ}C$ respectively. The temperature of the mixture when $x$ is mixed with $y$ is $16^{\circ}C$,and the temperature when $y$ is mixed with $z$ is $26^{\circ}C$. The temperature of the mixture when $x$ and $z$ are mixed will be ...... $^{\circ}C$.

$A$ massless spring $(k = 800\, N/m)$,attached with a mass $(500\, g)$ is completely immersed in $1\, kg$ of water. The spring is stretched by $2\, cm$ and released so that it starts vibrating. What would be the order of magnitude of the change in the temperature of water when the vibrations stop completely? (Assume that the water container and spring receive negligible heat and specific heat of mass $= 400\, J/kg\, K$,specific heat of water $= 4184\, J/kg\, K$)

Steam of mass $60 \ g$ at a temperature $100^{\circ} C$ is mixed with water of mass $360 \ g$ at a temperature $40^{\circ} C$. The ratio of the masses of steam and water in equilibrium is (Latent heat of steam is $540 \ cal \ g^{-1}$ and specific heat capacity of water is $1 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$)

$10 \ kg$ of ice at $-10^{\circ}C$ is added to $100 \ kg$ of water to lower its temperature from $25^{\circ}C.$ Consider no heat exchange to surroundings. The decrement to the temperature of water is . . . . . . $^{\circ}C.$ (specific heat of ice $= 2100 \ J/kg.^{\circ}C$, specific heat of water $= 4200 \ J/kg.^{\circ}C$, latent heat of fusion of ice $= 3.36 \times 10^{5} \ J/kg$)

$2 \ g$ of steam at $100 \ ^\circ C$ is passed into $40 \ g$ of water at $25 \ ^\circ C$. The final temperature of the mixture becomes $54.3 \ ^\circ C$. Find the latent heat of vaporization of steam in $cal/g$.

$A$ piece of metal of mass $5 \ kg$ and temperature $-50 \ ^\circ C$ is dropped in $20 \ kg$ water at $52 \ ^\circ C$ temperature. In thermal equilibrium,the temperature of water decreases by $2 \ ^\circ C$. Find the specific heat of the metal in $Cal/g \ ^\circ C$.
