प्रश्न
Why do doctors advise to put a strip of wet cloth on the forehead of a person having high fever (temperature)?
उत्तर
This depends upon the fact that water in the process of evaporation takes away heat equivalent to latent heat from the patient’s body and thus lowers the temperature of his body.

0.5 kg of lemon squash at 30° C is placed in a refrigerator which can remove heat at an average rate of 30 J s−1. How long will it take to cool the lemon squash to 5°C? Specific heat capacity of squash = 4200 J g−1K−1.
200 g of hot water at 80°C is added to 400 g of cold water at 10°C. Neglecting the heat taken by the container, calculate the final temperature of the mixture of water. Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg-1K-1.
