$5\,g$ of ice at $0\,^{\circ}C$ is dropped in a beaker containing $20\,g$ of water at $40\,^{\circ}C$. The final temperature will be ........ $^{\circ}C$.

$4 \text{ g}$ of steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is added to $20 \text{ g}$ of water at $46^{\circ} C$ in a container of negligible mass. Assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings, the mass of water in the container at thermal equilibrium is. (Latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 \text{ cal/g}$, Specific heat of water $= 1 \text{ cal/g}^{\circ} C$):- (in $\text{ g}$)

$A$ copper ball of mass $100 \ gm$ is at a temperature $T$. It is dropped into a copper calorimeter of mass $100 \ gm$,filled with $170 \ gm$ of water at room temperature. Subsequently,the temperature of the system is found to be $75 ^\circ C$. $T$ is given by......$^\circ C$ (Given: room temperature $= 30 ^\circ C$,specific heat of copper $= 0.1 \ cal/gm ^\circ C$)

The water equivalent of a calorimeter is $10 \ g$ and it contains $50 \ g$ of water at $15^{\circ} C$. Some amount of ice,initially at $-10^{\circ} C$,is dropped in it and half of the ice melts till equilibrium is reached. What was the initial amount of ice that was dropped (given specific heat of ice $= 0.5 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$,specific heat of water $= 1.0 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$ and latent heat of melting of ice $= 80 \ cal \ g^{-1}$) (in $g$)?
