Three copper blocks of masses $M_1, M_2$ and $M_3$ $kg$ respectively are brought into thermal contact until they reach equilibrium. Before contact,they were at temperatures $T_1, T_2, T_3$ $(T_1 > T_3)$. Assuming there is no heat loss to the surroundings,the equilibrium temperature $T$ is ($s$ is the specific heat of copper).

  • A
    $T = \frac{T_1 + T_2 + T_3}{3}$
  • B
    $T = \frac{M_1 T_1 + M_2 T_2 + M_3 T_3}{M_1 + M_2 + M_3}$
  • C
    $T = \frac{M_1 T_1 + M_2 T_2 + M_3 T_3}{3(M_1 + M_2 + M_3)}$
  • D
    $T = \frac{M_1 T_1 s + M_2 T_2 s + M_3 T_3 s}{3(M_1 + M_2 + M_3)}$

Steam at $100^{\circ}C$ is passed into $1.1 \, kg$ of water contained in a calorimeter of water equivalent $0.02 \, kg$ at $15^{\circ}C$ until the temperature of the calorimeter and its contents rises to $80^{\circ}C$. The mass of the steam condensed in $kg$ 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:

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 .......... $g$.
