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

  • A
    $9.1 \times 10^{6} \; J$
  • B
    $2.4 \times 10^{4} \; J$
  • C
    $6.2 \times 10^{5} \; J$
  • D
    $8.6 \times 10^{7} \; J$

If $60 \%$ of the kinetic energy of water falling from a $210 \ m$ high waterfall is converted into heat,the rise in temperature of the water at the bottom of the fall is nearly (specific heat of water $= 4.2 \times 10^3 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$ and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$):

Two objects made of the same material have masses $m$ and $2m$ and are at temperatures $2T$ and $T$ respectively. When heat $Q$ is supplied to the object of mass $2m$, its temperature rises to $2T$. If the same heat $Q$ is supplied to the object of mass $m$, its temperature rises to:

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 $333 \,kJ / kg$.)

$A$ flask of volume $10^3 \ cc$ is completely filled with mercury at $0 \, ^oC$. The coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury is $180 \times 10^{-6} / ^oC$ and that of glass is $40 \times 10^{-6} / ^oC$. If the flask is now placed in boiling water at $100 \, ^oC$,how much mercury (in $cc$) will overflow?
