Question
Explain, why no tracks are left on the ice during ice skating?
Solution
The weight of the body acts on a very small area of skate, in comparison to that of ice. Under this high pressure, ice melts to form water below 0°C. The water so formed makes the surface water skating more slippery. But as soon as the skater moves further, the water does not experience any pressure and re-freezes into ice leaving no track on ice surface.

Explain the statement; “The specific latent heat of vaporization of wafer is 2260 × 103 J/kg”.
Why does evaporation causes cooling and why is water used in hot water bottles?
Steam at 100°C is passed over 1000 g of ice at 0°C. After some time, 600 g of ice at 0°C is left and 450 g of water at 0°C is formed. Calculate the specific latent heat of vaporization of steam (Given: specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg°C, specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336,000 J/kg.)
1 kg of water is contained in a 1.25 kW kettle. Assuming specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g °C and specific latent heat of vaporization = 2260 J/g, calculate:
(i) the time taken for the temperature of water to rise from 25°C to its boiling point,
(ii) the mass of water which evaporates per minute from the boiling water.
