Work done (heat energy required) in converting $1\,g$ of ice at $-10\,^{\circ}C$ into steam at $100\,^{\circ}C$ is ......... $J$. (Take specific heat of ice $= 0.5\,cal/g^{\circ}C$,latent heat of fusion $= 80\,cal/g$,specific heat of water $= 1\,cal/g^{\circ}C$,latent heat of vaporization $= 540\,cal/g$,and $1\,cal = 4.2\,J$)

During summers in India,one of the common practices to keep cool is to make ice balls of crushed ice,dip them in flavoured sugar syrup,and sip them. For this,a stick is inserted into crushed ice,and it is squeezed in the palm to make it into a ball. Equivalently in winter,in those areas where it snows,people make snowballs and throw them around. Explain the formation of a ball out of crushed ice or snow in the light of the $p-T$ diagram of water.

If two balls of the same metal weighing $5\, g$ and $10\, g$ strike a target with the same velocity,and the heat energy developed is used solely for raising their temperature,then the temperature rise will be higher:

$M \ kg$ of water at $t^{\circ} C$ is divided into two parts so that one part of mass $m \ kg$ when converted into ice at $0^{\circ} C$ would release enough heat to vaporize the other part. Then $\frac{m}{M}$ is equal to (Specific heat of water $= 1 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$,Latent heat of fusion of ice $= 80 \ cal \ g^{-1}$,Latent heat of steam $= 540 \ cal \ g^{-1}$)

Which of the following graphs shows the variation of thermoelectric power with temperature difference $\theta$ between the hot and cold junctions in thermocouples?

$A$ hailstone of mass $42 \,g$ falls from a height of $1.8 \,km$. If its entire potential energy is converted into latent heat, what is the mass of the hailstone remaining when it reaches the ground (in $\,g$)? $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}, L_{\text{ice}}=3.36 \times 10^5 \,J \,kg^{-1}\right)$
