The resistances of the platinum wire of a platinum resistance thermometer at the ice point and steam point are $8 \Omega$ and $10 \Omega$ respectively. After inserting in a hot bath of temperature $400^{\circ} C$,the resistance of the platinum wire is: (in $Omega$)

$A$ piece of ice (heat capacity = $2100 \text{ J kg}^{-1} \text{ }^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$ and latent heat = $3.36 \times 10^5 \ J kg^{-1}$) of mass $m$ grams is at $-5^oC$ 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 $1 \ gm$ of ice has melted. Assuming there is no other heat exchange in the process, the value of $m$ is ...... $gm$.

$A$ block of ice at $-12^{\circ} C$ is slowly heated and converted into steam at $100^{\circ} C$. Which of the following curves best represents the event?

How many $J$ of heat energy is required to convert $1\,g$ of ice at $-10^{\circ}C$ into steam at $100^{\circ}C$?

$A$ geyser heats water flowing at the rate of $3.0 \, L/min$ from $27 \, ^{\circ}C$ to $77 \, ^{\circ}C$. If the geyser operates on a gas burner,what is the rate of consumption (in $g/min$) of the fuel if its heat of combustion is $4.0 \times 10^{4} \, J/g$?
