Water of volume $2\, L$ in a container is heated with a coil of $1\, kW$ at $27 \,^{\circ}C$. The lid of the container is open and energy dissipates at a rate of $160\, J/s$. In how much time will the temperature rise from $27\,^{\circ}C$ to $77\,^{\circ}C$? [Given: specific heat of water is $4.2\, kJ/(kg \cdot K)$]

$A$ thermally insulated vessel contains $150\, g$ of water at $0\, ^oC$. Then the air from the vessel is pumped out adiabatically. $A$ fraction of water turns into ice and the rest evaporates at $0\, ^oC$ itself. The mass of evaporated water will be closest to ....... $g$ (Latent heat of vaporization of water $= 2.10 \times 10^6\, J/kg$ and Latent heat of fusion of water $= 3.36 \times 10^5\, J/kg$).

If in the winter season the surface temperature of a lake is $1^{\circ} C$,the temperature at the bottom of the lake will be ............

$A$ metal ball immersed in alcohol weighs $W_1$ at $0^{\circ}C$ and $W_2$ at $59^{\circ}C$. The coefficient of cubical expansion of the metal is less than that of alcohol. Assuming that the density of metal is large compared to that of alcohol,it can be shown that

$A$ 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 $4.0 \times 10^{4} \, J/g$?

$A$ stationary object at $4^{\circ} C$ and weighing $3.5 \ kg$ falls from a height of $2000 \ m$ on a snow mountain at $0^{\circ} C$. If the temperature of the object just before hitting the snow is $0^{\circ} C$ and the object comes to rest immediately,then the quantity of ice that melts is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m/s^2$,Latent heat of ice $= 3.5 \times 10^5 \ J/kg$)
