Why does the temperature of the surroundings start falling when the ice of a
frozen lake starts melting?
Why does a wise farmer waters his fields, if the forecast says it is going to be
frost?
10125 J of heat energy boils off 4.5g of water at 100C. Find the specific latent
heat of steam.
Water falls from a height of 50m. Calculate the rise in the temperature of water
when it strikes the bottom.
( g = 10m/s2; Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg0C)
What will be the result of mixing 400 g of copper chips at 500C with 500 g of
crushed ice at 0C.
(sp. heat capacity of copper = 0.42 Jg1K1 and sp. latent heat of fusion of ice
= 340 Jg1).
