$A$ hailstone at $0^{\circ}C$ falls from a height of $1\, km$ on an insulating surface,converting the whole of its kinetic energy into heat. What part of it will melt? (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$,$J = 4.2\, J/cal$,and latent heat of fusion of ice $L = 80\, cal/g = 80 \times 10^3\, cal/kg$)

  • A
    $\frac{1}{33}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{8}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{33} \times 10^{-4}$
  • D
    All of it will melt

$A$ geyser heats water flowing at the rate of $3.0 \, L/min$ from $27 \, ^{\circ}C$ to $77 \, ^{\circ}C$. If the geyser operates on a gas burner,what is the rate of consumption (in $g/min$) of the fuel if its heat of combustion is $4.0 \times 10^{4} \, J/g$?

$A$ beaker is filled completely with water at $4^{\circ} C$. Identify the incorrect statement.

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.

$5 \text{ g}$ of steam at $100^{\circ} \text{C}$ is mixed with $5 \text{ g}$ of ice at $0^{\circ} \text{C}$. What is the final temperature of the mixture (in $^{\circ} \text{C}$)?
