On a hot day, placing a cup full of ice water on the table heats up as cup of hot tea on the same table cools down. write the reason.
What is called change of state of matter ?
$Assertion :$ Melting of solid causes no change in internal energy.
$Reason :$ Latent heat is the heat required to melt a unit mass of solid.
A copper block of mass $2.5\; kg$ is heated in a furnace to a temperature of $500\,^{\circ} C$ and then placed on a large ice block. What is the maximum amount of ice (in $kg$) that can melt? (Specific heat of copper $=0.39\; J g ^{-1} K ^{-1}$ ;heat of fusion of water $=335\; J g ^{-1})$
The portion $AB$ of the indicator diagram representing the state of matter denotes
A quantity of heat required to change the unit mass of a solid substance, from solid state to liquid state, while the temperature remains constant, is known as
