What is the main difference between the $P-T$ phase diagram of water and $CO_2$?

  • A
    The fusion curve of water has a positive slope,while that of $CO_2$ has a negative slope.
  • B
    The fusion curve of water has a negative slope,while that of $CO_2$ has a positive slope.
  • C
    Water has a triple point,but $CO_2$ does not.
  • D

The heat required to convert $8 \ g$ of ice at a temperature of $-20^{\circ}C$ to steam at $100^{\circ}C$ is (Specific heat capacity of ice $= 2100 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$,specific heat capacity of water $= 4200 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$,latent heat of fusion of ice $= 336 \times 10^3 \ J \ kg^{-1}$ and latent heat of steam $= 2.268 \times 10^6 \ J \ kg^{-1}$) (in $kJ$)

$A$ continuous flow water heater (geyser) has an electrical power rating $= 2 \, kW$ and efficiency of conversion of electrical power into heat $= 80 \%$. If water is flowing through the device at the rate of $100 \, cc/sec$,and the inlet temperature is $10^{\circ} C$,the outlet temperature will be ....... $^{\circ} C$.

In the given triple point curve as shown in the figure,the curves $AO$,$BO$,and $CO$ represent:

$A$ $20 \,g$ bullet whose specific heat is $5000 \,J/(kg \cdot ^{\circ}C)$ and moving at $2000 \,m/s$ plunges into a $1.0 \,kg$ block of wax whose specific heat is $3000 \,J/(kg \cdot ^{\circ}C)$. Both the bullet and the wax are at $25^{\circ}C$. Assuming that $(i)$ the bullet comes to rest in the wax and $(ii)$ all its kinetic energy is converted into heat,the final temperature of the wax (in $^{\circ}C$) is close to:
