$A$ solid cube of mass $m$ at a temperature $\theta_0$ is heated at a constant rate. It becomes liquid at temperature $\theta_1$ and vapour at temperature $\theta_2$. Let $s_1$ and $s_2$ be specific heats in its solid and liquid states respectively. If $L_f$ and $L_v$ are latent heats of fusion and vaporisation respectively,then the minimum heat energy supplied to the cube until it vaporises is

  • A
    $m s_1(\theta_1-\theta_0)+m s_2(\theta_2-\theta_1)$
  • B
    $m L_f+m s_2(\theta_2-\theta_1)+m L_v$
  • C
    $m s_1(\theta_1-\theta_0)+m L_f+m s_2(\theta_2-\theta_1)+m L_v$
  • D
    $m s_1(\theta_1-\theta_0)+m L_f+m s_2(\theta_2-\theta_0)+m L_v$

$250\,g$ of water and an equal volume of alcohol of mass $200\,g$ are placed successively in the same calorimeter and cool from $60^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$ in $130\,s$ and $67\,s$ respectively. If the water equivalent of the calorimeter is $10\,g$,then the specific heat of alcohol in $\text{cal/g}^{\circ}C$ is:
