Work done in converting one gram of ice at $-10^{\circ}C$ into steam at $100^{\circ}C$ is ....... $J$

One quality of a thermometer is that its heat capacity should be small. If $P$ is a mercury thermometer,$Q$ is a resistance thermometer,and $R$ is a thermocouple type,then:

$10 \, g$ of ice at $0^{\circ} C$ is kept in a calorimeter of water equivalent $10 \, g$. How much heat (in $cal$) should be supplied to the apparatus to evaporate the water thus formed? (Neglect loss of heat)

Explain why:
$(a)$ Two bodies at different temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$,if brought in thermal contact,do not necessarily settle to the mean temperature $(T_1 + T_2) / 2$.
$(b)$ The coolant in a chemical or a nuclear plant (i.e.,the liquid used to prevent the different parts of a plant from getting too hot) should have high specific heat.
$(c)$ Air pressure in a car tyre increases during driving.
$(d)$ The climate of a harbour town is more temperate than that of a town in a desert at the same latitude.

$A$ stationary object at $4^{\circ} C$ and weighing $3.5 \ kg$ falls from a height of $2000 \ m$ on a snow mountain at $0^{\circ} C$. If the temperature of the object just before hitting the snow is $0^{\circ} C$ and the object comes to rest immediately,then the quantity of ice that melts is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m/s^2$,Latent heat of ice $= 3.5 \times 10^5 \ J/kg$)

For a copper-iron $(Cu-Fe)$ couple,the thermo $e.m.f.$ (temperature of cold junction $= 0\,^{\circ}C$) is given by $E = (14\theta - 0.02\theta^2)\,\mu V$. The neutral temperature will be
