5 g of ice at 0° C is mixed with 10 g of water at 10° C. The temperature of the mixture is:
  • a)
    2°C
  • b)
    0°C​
  • c)
    5°C
  • d)
    2.5°C
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Riya Banerjee answered
Heat absorbed by 5g ice when it converted to at 0° C = 5 x 80 = 400 cal.
Heat liberated by 10g water at 10° C to 0° C = 100 cal
Hence there is 15g water at 0° C and 300 cal needs to be liberated , thus for some amount of water converts into ice, hence the temp of mixture is 0° C.

Can you explain the answer of this question below:

Water is used as coolant in automobiles radiators because

  • A:

    it has high specific heat capacity

  • B:

    it is easily available

  • C:

    it is easy to carry

  • D:

    it is cheap

The answer is a.

Lavanya Menon answered
Water is used as a coolant in automobiles radiators because it has high specific heat capacity. So, it absorbs a large amount of heat for a degree rise in temperature.

A piece of iron of mass 100g is kept inside a furnace for a long time and Jthen put in a calorimeter of water equivalent 10g containing 240g of water at 20°C. The mixture attains an equilibrium temperature of 60°C. Find the temperature of the furnace. Specific heat capacity of iron = 470J/kg-°C.
  • a)
    500°C
  • b)
    900°C
  • c)
    953.6C
  • d)
    706.80 °C
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
Mass of Iron = 100g
Water Eq of caloriemeter = 10g
Mass of water = 240g
Let the Temp. of surface = 0ºC
Siron = 470J/kg°C 
Total heat gained = Total heat lost.
So,100/1000× 470 × (θ – 60) = 250/1000 × 4200 × (60 – 20)
⇒ 47θ – 47 × 60 = 25 × 42 × 40
⇒  θ = 4200 + 2820/47= 44820/47 =953.61°C

According to law of calorimetry, which of the given relation is true?
  • a)
    Heat gained ≥ Heat lost
  • b)
    Heat gained = Heat lost
  • c)
    Heat gained > Heat lost
  • d)
    Heat lost > Heat gained
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anjali Iyer answered
A principle of calorimetry states that if there is no loss of heat in surrounding the total heat lost by hot body equal to the total heat gained by a cold body.

i.e. heat loss = heat gain

A device in which heat measurement can be made is called
  • a)
    Joule meter
  • b)
    Calorimeter
  • c)
    Thermal meter
  • d)
    Gauge meter
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajesh Gupta answered
A calorimeter is an object used for calorimetry, or the process of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes as well as heat capacity.

The temperature and pressure at which all three phases of a substances coexist is called
  • a)
    Fusion point
  • b)
    Triple point​
  • c)
    Sublimation point
  • d)
    Melting Point
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajeev Saxena answered
In thermodynamics, the triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which the three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of that substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. It is that temperature and pressure at which the sublimation curve, fusion curve and the vaporisation curve meet.

An increase in temperature in a liquid would cause a phase change to which of the following?
  • a)
    Gas
  • b)
    liquid
  • c)
    solid
  • d)
    plasma
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Sharma answered
Increasing the temperature of liquid, increases the average K.E. of the molecules. The molecules start moving vigorously in all the directions, thereby increasing and the inter-molecular space between them. Thus, the liquid changes into gas.

SI unit of latent heat is
  • a)
    Cal/ Kg
  • b)
    J Kg
  • c)
    J Kg -2
  • d)
    J/Kg
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Jyoti Dey answered
The correct answer is option 'D', J/Kg.

Latent heat is the amount of heat energy required or released during a phase change of a substance, such as melting or vaporization, at a constant temperature and pressure. It is a specific type of heat energy associated with the change in the internal energy of a substance, without a change in its temperature.

There are two types of latent heat: latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization. The latent heat of fusion refers to the heat energy required to change a substance from a solid to a liquid state, while the latent heat of vaporization refers to the heat energy required to change a substance from a liquid to a gaseous state.

The SI unit of latent heat is Joule per kilogram (J/Kg). The Joule is the SI unit of energy, and the kilogram is the SI unit of mass. So, when we express the latent heat in the SI unit, we are essentially referring to the amount of energy required or released per unit mass of the substance during a phase change.

The SI unit of latent heat can be derived by considering the equation Q = mL, where Q is the heat energy required or released, m is the mass of the substance, and L is the latent heat. By rearranging the equation, we get L = Q/m. Since Q is in Joules and m is in kilograms, the SI unit of latent heat is J/Kg.

So, option 'D', J/Kg, is the correct answer for the SI unit of latent heat.

What happens to the volume of the substance when the temperature increases?
  • a)
    decreases
  • b)
    increases
  • c)
    remains same
  • d)
    not measurable
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajat Patel answered
In general, liquids tend to get “thinner” when their temperature increases. In general, the liquids tend to expand when their temperature increases. For example, the same mass of boiling water occupies more volume at 100 degrees Celsius than at 20 degrees Celsius. Therefore, increasing temperature decreases density.
