  • 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

$22320 \ cal$ of heat is supplied to $100 \ g$ of ice at $0^{\circ} C$. If the latent heat of fusion of ice is $80 \ cal \ g^{-1}$ and latent heat of vaporization of water is $540 \ cal \ g^{-1}$,the final amount of water thus obtained and its temperature respectively are:

$A$ steel ball of mass $200 \,g$ falls freely from a height of $20 \,m$ and bounces to a height of $10.8 \,m$ from the ground. If the energy lost in this process is absorbed by the ball, the rise in its temperature is ($g = 10 \,ms^{-2}$, specific heat capacity of steel is $460 \,Jkg^{-1} K^{-1}$). (in $^{\circ} C$)

Two identical balls,$A$ and $B$,of uniform composition and initially at the same temperature,each absorb exactly the same amount of heat. $A$ is hanging from the ceiling while $B$ rests on the horizontal floor in the same room. Assuming no subsequent heat loss by the balls,which of the following statements is correct about their final temperatures,$T_A$ and $T_B$,once the balls have reached their final state?

Find the amount of heat supplied to decrease the volume of an ice-water mixture by $1 \, cm^3$ without any change in temperature. (Given: $\rho_{ice} = 0.9 \rho_{water}$,$L_{ice} = 80 \, cal/g$).
