What is called change of state of matter ?
Explain three states and change in states for matter.
An ice cube at temperature $-20^o C$ is kept in a room at temperature $20^o C$. The variation of temperature of the body with time is given by
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
Why is it difficult to cook on hills ?
A child running a temperature of $101\,^{\circ} F$ is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to $98\,^{\circ} F$ in $20$ minutes, what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused, by the drug (in $g/min$). Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is $30\; kg$. The spectfic heat of human body is approximately the same as that of water, and latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about $580\; cal \;g^{-1}$.
