प्रश्न
Give scientific reasons for the following:
Sand mixed with salt is often spread over the icy roads in winter.
उत्तर
Sand improves the friction between car tyres and the road, so cars don't skid on icy surfaces. Salt is spread so as to decrease the melting point of ice. Ice on the roads melt, making the roads less slippery.

1.0 kg of water is contained in a 1.25 kW kettle. Calculate the time taken for the temperature of water to rise from 25° C to its boiling point of 100°C. Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J g-1K-1.
Express -400C on the Fahrenheit scale.
1 kg of molten lead at its melting point of 327°C is dropped into 1 kg of water at 20°C. Assuming no loss of heat, calculate the final temp. of water. (Sp. heat of lead = 130 J/kg°C, latent heat of lead = 27000 J/kg and Sp. heat of water = 4200 J/kg°C).
What mass of ice at 0°C will be required to cool 0.9 kg of water from 35°C to 0°C? Assume all the ice used melts. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.2 x 103 J/kgoC and specific latent heat of fusion of ice is 336 x 103 J/kg.
Which has more heat: 1 g of ice at 0°C or 1 g of water at 0°C? Give reason.
