(N/A) Sublimation is the process in which a substance changes directly from the solid state to the vapour state without passing through the intermediate liquid state.
Conversely,the process of changing directly from vapour to solid is also often referred to as sublimation or deposition.
Examples of substances that undergo sublimation include dry ice (solid $CO_{2}$),iodine $(I_{2})$,naphthalene $(C_{10}H_{8})$,and camphor.
During the sublimation process,the solid and vapour phases of the substance coexist in thermal equilibrium at a specific temperature and pressure.

Statement $(I)$: $A$ device in which heat measurement can be made is called a calorimeter.
Statement $(II)$: Skating is possible on snow due to the formation of water below the skates. Water is formed due to the increase of temperature and ice melts.
Statement $(III)$: Two bodies at different temperatures are mixed in a calorimeter. The total internal energy of the two bodies remains conserved.
Which of the following is correct?

$500\, g$ of water and $100\, g$ of ice at $0\,^{\circ}C$ are in a calorimeter whose water equivalent is $40\, g$. $10\, g$ of steam at $100\,^{\circ}C$ is added to it. Then the final amount of water in the calorimeter is ....... $g$ (Latent heat of ice $= 80\, cal/g$,Latent heat of steam $= 540\, cal/g$).
