Why is it difficult to cook on hills ?
At high altitudes, atmospheric pressure is lower, reducing the boiling point of water as compared to that at sea level.
On hills at high altitudes due to low pressure boiling point of water becomes low as compared to sea level. Hence sufficient heat is not given to food. So it is difficult to cook
The portion $A B$ of the curve representing the state of matter denotes
Write a latent heat unit and dimensional formula. On what does the value of latent heat depend ?
What is latent heat of fusion ? What is latent heat of vapourization ? Give its value for water.
A closed bottle containing water at $30°C$ is carried to the moon in a space-ship. If it is placed on the surface of the moon, what will happen to the water as soon as the lid is opened
Values for latent heat in Column$-\,I$ and its values are given in Column$-\,II$. Match the followings :
Column $-\,I$ | Column $-\,II$ |
$(a)$ Latent heat of vaporization $L_V$ | $(i)$ $22.6\, \times \,{10^5}\,J\,/kg$ |
$(b)$ Latent heat of fusion $L_f$ | $(ii)$ $33.3\, \times \,{10^5}\,J\,/kg$ |
$(iii)$ $3.33\, \times \,{10^5}\,J\,/kg$ |
