In an experiment,a sphere of aluminium of mass $0.20\, kg$ is heated up to $150\, ^\circ C$. Immediately,it is put into water of volume $150\, cc$ at $27\, ^\circ C$ kept in a calorimeter of water equivalent $0.025\, kg$. The final temperature of the system is $40\, ^\circ C$. The specific heat of aluminium is ............ $J/kg\cdot ^\circ C$ (take $4.2\, J = 1\, cal$).

$A$ piece of ice (heat capacity $= 2100 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ and latent heat $= 3.36 \times 10^5 \ J \ kg^{-1}$) of mass $m$ grams is at $-5^{\circ}C$ at atmospheric pressure. It is given $420 \ J$ of heat so that the ice starts melting. Finally,when the ice-water mixture is in equilibrium,it is found that $1 \ g$ of ice has melted. Assuming there is no other heat exchange in the process,the value of $m$ is:

$A$ liquid of mass $m$ and specific heat $c$ is heated to a temperature $2T$. Another liquid of mass $m/2$ and specific heat $2c$ is heated to a temperature $T$. If these two liquids are mixed, the resulting temperature of the mixture is:

The specific heat of alcohol is about half that of water. Suppose you have identical masses of alcohol and water. The alcohol is initially at temperature $T_A$. The water is initially at a different temperature $T_W$. Now the two fluids are mixed in the same container and allowed to come into thermal equilibrium,with no loss of heat to the surroundings. The final temperature of the mixture will be :-

$150 \,g$ of ice is mixed with $100 \,g$ of water at temperature $80^{\circ} C$. The latent heat of ice is $80 \,cal/g$ and the specific heat of water is $1 \,cal/g^{\circ} C$. Assuming no heat loss to the environment,the amount of ice which does not melt is ........... $g$.

Ice in a freezer is at $-7^{\circ} C$. $100 \, g$ of this ice is mixed with $200 \, g$ of water at $15^{\circ} C$. Take the freezing temperature of water to be $0^{\circ} C$,the specific heat of ice equal to $2.2 \, J/g^{\circ} C$,specific heat of water equal to $4.2 \, J/g^{\circ} C$,and the latent heat of ice equal to $335 \, J/g$. Assuming no loss of heat to the environment,the mass of ice in the final mixture is closest to .......... $g$.
