$A$ $10 \ W$ electric heater is used to heat a container filled with $0.5 \ kg$ of water. It is found that the temperature of the water and the container rises by $3 \ K$ in $15 \ min$. The container is then emptied,dried,and filled with $2 \ kg$ of oil. The same heater now raises the temperature of the container-oil system by $2 \ K$ in $20 \ min$. Assuming that there is no heat loss in the process and the specific heat of water is $4200 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$,the specific heat of oil in the same unit is equal to:

  • A
    $1.50 \times 10^{3}$
  • B
    $2.55 \times 10^{3}$
  • C
    $3.00 \times 10^{3}$
  • D
    $5.10 \times 10^{3}$

$100 \, g$ of water is supercooled to $-10 \, ^\circ C$. At this point,due to some disturbance,some of it suddenly freezes to ice. What will be the temperature of the resultant mixture and how much mass would freeze? $[S_W = 1 \, cal \, g^{-1} \, ^\circ C^{-1}$ and $L_{fusion} = 80 \, cal \, g^{-1}]$

$1\, kg$ of ice at $-10\,^{\circ}C$ is mixed with $4.4\, kg$ of water at $30\,^{\circ}C$. The final temperature of the mixture is ........ $^{\circ}C$. (Specific heat of ice = $2100\, J/kg\cdot K$,specific heat of water = $4200\, J/kg\cdot K$,latent heat of fusion of ice = $3.36 \times 10^5\, J/kg$)
