Three copper blocks of masses $M_1, M_2$ and $M_3$ $kg$ respectively are brought into thermal contact until they reach equilibrium. Before contact,they were at temperatures $T_1, T_2, T_3$ $(T_1 > T_3)$. Assuming there is no heat loss to the surroundings,the equilibrium temperature $T$ is ($s$ is the specific heat of copper).

  • A
    $T = \frac{T_1 + T_2 + T_3}{3}$
  • B
    $T = \frac{M_1 T_1 + M_2 T_2 + M_3 T_3}{M_1 + M_2 + M_3}$
  • C
    $T = \frac{M_1 T_1 + M_2 T_2 + M_3 T_3}{3(M_1 + M_2 + M_3)}$
  • D
    $T = \frac{M_1 T_1 s + M_2 T_2 s + M_3 T_3 s}{3(M_1 + M_2 + M_3)}$

$A$ calorimeter of water equivalent $20 \, g$ contains $180 \, g$ of water at $25^{\circ} C$. '$m$' grams of steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is mixed in it until the temperature of the mixture is $31^{\circ} C$. The value of '$m$' is close to (Latent heat of water $= 540 \, \text{cal} \, g^{-1}$,specific heat of water $= 1 \, \text{cal} \, g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$)

$10\; g$ of ice cubes at $0\;^{\circ} C$ are released in a tumbler (water equivalent $55\; g$) at $40\;^{\circ} C$. Assuming that negligible heat is taken from the surroundings,the temperature (in $^{\circ} C$) of water in the tumbler becomes nearly $(L_f = 80\; cal/g)$.

The water equivalent of a calorimeter is $10 \ g$ and it contains $50 \ g$ of water at $15^{\circ} C$. Some amount of ice, initially at $-10^{\circ} C$, is dropped in it and half of the ice melts till equilibrium is reached. What was the initial amount of ice that was dropped (given specific heat of ice $= 0.5 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$, specific heat of water $= 1.0 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$ and latent heat of melting of ice $= 80 \ cal \ g^{-1}$) (in $g$)?
