A solid material is supplied with heat at a constant rate. The temperature of material is changing with heat input as shown in the figure. What does slope $DE$ represent.
latent heat of liquid
latent heat of vapour
heat capacity of vapour
inverse of heat capacity of vapour
A metallic ball and highly stretched spring are made of the same material and have the same mass. They are heated so that they melt, the latent heat required
Answer the following questions based on the $P$ - $T$ phase diagram of carbon dioxide:
$(a)$ At what temperature and pressure can the solid, liquid and vapour phases of $CO _{2}$ co-exist in equilibrium?
$(b)$ What is the effect of decrease of pressure on the fusion and boiling point of $CO _{2} ?$
$(c)$ What are the critical temperature and pressure for $CO _{2} ?$ What is their sıgnificance ?
$(d)$ Is $CO _{2}$ solid, liquid or gas at $(a)\;-70\,^{\circ} C$ under $1\; atm$, $( b )\;-60\,^{\circ} C$ under $10 \;atm,$ $(c)$ $15\,^{\circ} C$ under $56$ atm ?
A substance of mass $m\, kg$ requires a power input of $P$ watts to remain in the molten state at its melting point. When the power is turned off, the sample completely solidifies in time $t$ sec. What is the latent heat of fusion of the substance
Heat is supplied to a certain homogenous sample of matter, at a uniform rate. Its temperature is plotted against time, as shown. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn
The graph shows the variation of temperature $(T)$ of one kilogram of a material with the heat $(H)$ supplied to it. At $O,$ the substance is in the solid state. From the graph, we can conclude that
