$10 \, kg$ of water is to be heated from $20^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ in $1 \, hour$. Steam at $150^{\circ}C$ is passed through a copper coil immersed in the water. The steam condenses and returns to the boiler at $90^{\circ}C$. How much steam is required per hour? (Specific heat of water $= 1 \, cal/g^{\circ}C$,Latent heat of vaporization $= 540 \, cal/g$)

  • A
    $1 \, g$
  • B
    $1 \, kg$
  • C
    $10 \, g$
  • D
    $10 \, kg$

Water of volume $2\, L$ in a closed container is heated with a coil of $1\, kW$. While water is heated,the container loses energy at a rate of $160\, J/s$. In how much time will the temperature of water rise from $27\, ^\circ C$ to $77\, ^\circ C$? (Specific heat of water is $4.2\, kJ/kg\cdot K$ and that of the container is negligible)

$1\, kg$ 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 = $3.36 \times 10^5\, J/kg$)
