An electric kettle (rated at $2.5\, kW$) is used to heat $3\, kg$ of water from $15\, ^oC$ to its boiling point. It takes $9.5$ minutes. The amount of heat lost is:

$A$ piece of ice (heat capacity $= 2100 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ and latent heat $= 3.36 \times 10^5 \ J \ kg^{-1}$) of mass $m$ grams is at $-5^{\circ}C$ at atmospheric pressure. It is given $420 \ J$ of heat so that the ice starts melting. Finally,when the ice-water mixture is in equilibrium,it is found that $1 \ g$ of ice has melted. Assuming there is no other heat exchange in the process,the value of $m$ is:

One kilogram of ice at $0\,^{\circ}C$ is mixed with one kilogram of water at $80\,^{\circ}C$. The temperature of the mixture is ........ $^{\circ}C$ (specific heat of water $= 4200\,J\,kg^{-1}\,K^{-1}$ and latent heat of ice $= 336\,kJ\,kg^{-1}$).

Ice in a freezer is at $-7^{\circ} C$. $100 \, g$ of this ice is mixed with $200 \, g$ of water at $15^{\circ} C$. Take the freezing temperature of water to be $0^{\circ} C$,the specific heat of ice equal to $2.2 \, J/g^{\circ} C$,specific heat of water equal to $4.2 \, J/g^{\circ} C$,and the latent heat of ice equal to $335 \, J/g$. Assuming no loss of heat to the environment,the mass of ice in the final mixture is closest to .......... $g$.

$540 \ g$ of ice at $0 \ ^\circ C$ is mixed with $540 \ g$ of water at $80 \ ^\circ C$. The final temperature of the mixture is
