A mass of 200 g of mercury at 100°C is poured into water at 20°C. If the final temperature of the mixture is 25°C, find the mass of water. (Sp. heat cap. of mercury is 140 J/kgK).
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).
100 g of ice at -10°C is heated. It is converted into steam. Calculate the quantity of heat which it has consumed. (Sp. heat of ice = 2100J/kg°C, sp. heat of water= 4200 J/kgK, sp. heat of water = 42000 J/kgK, sp. latent heat of ice = 2260000 J/kg).
