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.

  • A
    $C_{L1} < C_{L2}$ and $C_{S1} < C_{S2}$
  • B
    $C_{L1} > C_{L2}$ and $C_{S1} < C_{S2}$
  • C
    $C_{L1} > C_{L2}$ and $C_{S1} > C_{S2}$
  • D
    $C_{L1} < C_{L2}$ and $C_{S1} > C_{S2}$

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.

Heat is being supplied at a constant rate to a sphere of ice which is melting at the rate of $0.1 \, g/s$. It melts completely in $100 \, s$. The rate of rise of temperature thereafter will be ........ $^\circ C/s$ (Assume no loss of heat.)

$A$ 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 ....... $J/s$.

$A$ liquid at $30^{\circ} C$ is poured very slowly into a calorimeter at $110^{\circ} C$. The boiling point of the liquid is $80^{\circ} C$. It is observed that the first $5 \ gm$ of the liquid evaporates completely. After adding another $80 \ gm$ of the liquid,the equilibrium temperature is found to be $50^{\circ} C$. What is the ratio of the latent heat of the liquid to its specific heat? [Neglect heat exchange with the surroundings]
