Work done in converting $1 \, g$ of ice at $-10^{\circ} C$ into steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is .......... $kJ$.

What type of changes occur in an object by heating it?

An earthen pitcher used in summer cools water in it essentially by evaporation of water from its porous surface. If a pitcher carries $4 \,kg$ of water and the rate of evaporation is $20 \,g$ per hour,the temperature of water in it decreases by $\Delta T$ in two hours. The value of $\Delta T$ is close to ........... $^{\circ} C$ (ratio of latent heat of evaporation to specific heat of water is $540^{\circ} C$).

$A$ 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 $= 3.5 \times 10^5 \ J/kg$)

The height of Victoria Falls is $63 \ m$. What is the difference in temperature of water at the top and at the bottom of the fall? (In $^{\circ}C$)
[Given $1 \ cal = 4.2 \ J$ and specific heat of water $= 1 \ cal \ g^{-1} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$]

$A$ block of ice at temperature $-20^{\circ} C$ is slowly heated and converted to steam at $100^{\circ} C$. Which of the following diagrams is most appropriate?
