What is the main difference between the $P-T$ phase diagram of water and $CO_2$?

  • A
    The fusion curve of water has a positive slope,while that of $CO_2$ has a negative slope.
  • B
    The fusion curve of water has a negative slope,while that of $CO_2$ has a positive slope.
  • C
    Water has a triple point,but $CO_2$ does not.
  • D

$A$ lead bullet of mass $50 \ g$ at a temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ is fired vertically upwards with a speed of $840 \ m/s$. When the bullet returns to the point of departure,it strikes a large block of ice at $0^{\circ}C$. How much ice (in $g$) will melt? (Specific heat of lead is $0.02 \ cal/g^{\circ}C$,latent heat of fusion of ice is $80 \ cal/g$,and assume all energy is used to melt the ice.)

An electric heater with a constant heat supply rate is used to convert a certain amount of liquid ammonia to saturated vapour at high pressure. The heater takes $14 \text{ minutes}$ to bring the liquid at $15^{\circ}C$ to the boiling point of $50^{\circ}C$ and $92 \text{ minutes}$ to convert the liquid at the boiling point wholly to vapour. If the specific heat capacity of liquid ammonia is $4.9 \text{ kJ/kg K}$, the latent heat of vaporisation of ammonia in $\text{kJ/kg}$ is:

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?

$5 \, g$ of ice at $0^{\circ}C$ is mixed with $5 \, g$ of steam at $100^{\circ}C$. The final temperature of the mixture is ... $^{\circ}C$.
