Ans: A mass m1 of a substance A of specific heat capacity c1 at temperature T1 is mixed with mass m2 of other substance B of specific heat capacity c2 at a lower temperature T2 and the final temperature of the mixture becomes T.
Fall in temperature of substance A = T1 – T
Rise in temperature of substance B = T – T2
Heat energy lost by A = m1 × c1 × fall in temperature = m1c1 (T1 – T)
Heat energy gained by B = m2 × c2 × rise in temperature = m2c2 (T – T2)
If no energy lost in the surrounding, then by the principle of mixtures,
Heat energy lost by A = Heat energy gained by B
m1c1(T1- T) = m2c2(T – T2)
After rearranging this equation, we get
T = m1c1T1+m2c2T2 / m1c1+m2c2
Here we have assumed that there is no loss of heat energy.
23. Why do the farmers fill their fields with water on a cold winter night?
Ans: In the absence of the water, if on a cold winter night the atmospheric temperature falls below 0o C, the water in small capillaries of the plant will freeze, so the veins will burst due to the increase in the volume of the water on freezing. As a result, plants will die and the crop will be destroyed. In order to save the crop on such cold nights, farmers fill their fields with water because water has a high specific heat capacity, so it does not allow the temperature in the surrounding area of plants to fall up to 0o C.
24. Discuss the role of high specific heat capacity of water with reference to climate in coastal areas.
Ans: The specific heat capacity of water is very high. It is about five times as high as that of sand. Hence the heat energy required for the same rise in temperature by a certain mass of water will be nearly five times that required by the same mass of sand. Similarly, a certain mass of water will give out nearly five times more heat energy than that given by sand of the same mass for the same fall in temperature. As such, sand gets heated or cooled more rapidly as compared to water under similar conditions. So a large difference in temperature is developed between the land and sea due to which land and sea breezes are formed. These breezes make the climate near the sea shore moderate.
25. Water is used in hot water bottles for fomentation. Give a reason.
Ans: The reason is that water does not cool quickly due to its large specific heat capacity, so a hot water bottle provides heat energy for fomentation for a long time period.
26. What property of water makes it an effective coolant?
Ans: By allowing the water to flow in pipes around the heated parts of a machine, heat energy from such parts is removed. Water in pipes extracts more heat from the surrounding without much increase in its temperature because of its large specific heat capacity. So, Water is used as an effective coolant.
27. Give one example each where a high specific heat capacity of water is used (i) as coolant, (ii) as heat reservoir.
Ans: (1) Radiator in car. (2) To avoid freezing wine & juice bottles.
28. A liquid X has a specific heat capacity higher than liquid Y. Which liquid is useful as (i) coolant in car radiators.

(i)The liquid needs to absorb more energy without much change in temperature as a coolant in car radiators. Hence liquid X is useful for this function.
(ii) Which liquid is useful as a heat reservoir to keep juice bottles without freezing?
Ans: The liquid needs to give out a large amount of heat before reaching freezing temperatures as a heat reservoir to keep juice bottles without freezing. Hence, liquid X is useful for this function.
29. (a) What is a calorimeter?
Ans: A calorimeter is a cylindrical device that is used to measure the amount of heat gained or lost by a body when it is mixed with another body.
(b) Name the material of which it is made of. Give two reasons for using the material satiated by you.
Ans: Calorimeter is made up of a thin copper sheet because:
(i) Copper is a good conductor of heat, thus the vessel soon acquires the temperature of its contents.
(ii) Copper has low specific heat capacity thus the heat capacity of the calorimeter is low and the amount of heat energy taken by the calorimeter from its contents to acquire the temperature of its contents is negligible.
(c) Out of the three metals A,B, and C specific heat capacity 900 J kg-1 ℃-1,380 J kg-1 ℃-1 and 460 J kg-1 ℃-1 respectively, which will you prefer for a calorimeter ? Give a reason.
Ans: Metal B with specific heat capacity 380 J kg-1 ℃-1 should be selected to make a calorimeter. By selecting this metal, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is low and the amount of heat energy taken by the calorimeter from its contents to acquire the temperature of its contents is negligible.
(d) How is the loss of heat due to radiation minimised in a calorimeter?
Ans: Heat loss due to radiation will be minimized by polishing the box in order to smoothen it.
30. Why is the base of a cooking pan made thick and heavy?

Ans: Because 1 g ice at temperature 0oC takes 336 J of heat energy from the mouth to melt at 0oC. Thus the mouth loses an additional 336 J of the heat energy for 1 g of ice at 0oC than for 1g of water at 0oC. Therefore cooling produced by 1 g of ice at 0oC is more than for 1g of the water at 0oC.
25. The soft drink bottles are cooled by (i) ice cubes at 0°C, and (ii) iced-water at 0°C. Which will cool the drink quickly? Give a reason
Ans: Because 1 g ice at temperature 0oC takes 336 J of heat energy from the bottle to melt into water at 0oC. Thus the bottle loses an additional 336 J of heat energy for 1 g of ice at 0oC than for 1 g of iced water at 0oC. So bottled soft drinks get cooled, more quickly by the ice cubes than by iced water.
26. It is generally colder after a hail storm than during and before the hail storm. Give reasons.
Ans: Reason is that after the hail storm, the ice absorbs the heat energy required for melting from the surrounding, so the temperature of the surrounding falls further down and feels colder.
27. The temperature of surroundings starts falling when ice in a frozen lake starts melting. Give reasons.
Ans: Because heat energy requires form, melting the frozen lake is absorbed from the surrounding atmosphere. so the temperature of the surrounding falls and it becomes very cold.
28. Water in lakes and ponds does not freeze at once in cold countries. Give a reason.
Ans: Specific latent heat of fusion for ice is sufficiently high, approx 336 J g-1. Before freezing the water in the lakes and ponds will have to release a large quantity of heat to the surrounding area. If there is any layer of ice formed on water then water being a poor conductor of heat will also prevent the loss of heat from water of the lake. so, in cold countries water in lakes and ponds does not freeze.
29. Explain the following:
(a) The surroundings become pleasantly warm when water in a lake starts freezing in cold countries.
Ans: Reason is that the specific latent heat of fusion of ice is sufficiently high, so when water of a lake freezes, a large quantity of heat will be released hence the surrounding temperature becomes pleasantly warm.
(b) The heat supplied to a substance during its change of state, does not cause any rise in its temperature.
Ans: Heat supplied to a substance during its change of state, doesn’t cause any rise in its temperature because this is latent heat of phase change which is required to change phase only.

1. 10g of ice at 0oC absorbs 5460J of heat energy to melt and change to water at 50oC. Calculate the specific latent heat of fusion of ice. Specific heat capacity of water is 4200Jkg-1K-1.
Ans: Mass of ice=10g = 0.01kg
Heat energy absorbed, Q=5460J
Specific latent heat of fusion of ice=?
Specific heat capacity of water = 4200Jkg-1K-1
Heat energy requires 10g of water at 0oC to raise its temperature by 50oC is = 0.01×4200×50=2100J.
Let, Specific latent heat of fusion of ice is L Jg-1.
Then,
Q = mL + mc $\Delta $ T
5460 J =10 × L + 2100J
L = 336Jg-1.
2. How much heat energy is released when 5.0 g of water at 20oC changes into ice at 0oC? Take specific heat capacity of water =4.2 J g-1 K-1, specific latent heat of fusion of ice =336 J g-1.
Ans: Given, mass of water, m = 5.0 g
Specific heat capacity of water c = 4.2 J g-1 K-1
Specific latent heat of fusion of ice L =336 J g-1
Heat energy will be released when 5.0 g of water at 20oC changes into water at 0oC is, = 5×4.2×20 = 420 J.
This energy is released when 5.0g of water at 0oC changes into ice at
0oC = 5×336J = 1680J.
So, total Heat released = 1680 J + 420 J = 2100 J.
3. A molten metal of mass 150 g is kept at its melting point 800oC. When it is allowed to freeze at the same temperature, it gives out 75000 J of heat energy.
(a) What is the specific latent heat of the metal?
Ans: (a) Given, mass of metal =150 g
Now, specific latent heat of metal
L=Q/m
= 75000/150
= 500Jg-1
(b) If the specific heat capacity of metal is 200 J kg-1 K-1, how much additional heat energy will the metal give out in cooling to -50°C?
Ans: Specific heat capacity of metal=200 J kg-1 K-1.
Now, change in temperature= 800-(-50) = 850oC (or 850 K).
ΔQ = mcΔT
= 0.15×200×850
= 25500J
4. A solid metal of mass 150g melts at its melting point of 800°C by providing heat at the rate of 100W.The time taken for it to completely melt at the same temperature is 4 min. What is the specific latent heat of fusion of the metal?
Ans: Given that, m=150g=.15 kg,power=100W,time=4 min=60second
Total heat supplied in 4 min=100×4×60 =24000J
Let L= latent specific heat
mL = 24000
L = 24000/0.15
= 1.6×105 Jkg-1
5. A refrigerator converts 100g of water at 20oC to ice at -10oC in 73.5 min. calculate the average rate of heat extraction in watt. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.2 Jg-1K-1, specific latent heat of ice is 336Jg-1 and the specific heat capacity of ice is2.1Jg-1K-1.
Ans: heat is released when 100g of water cools from 20o to 0oC
= 100X20X4.2 = 8400J.
heat is released when 100g of water converts into ice at 0oC
= 100X336 = 33600J.
heat is released when 100g of ice cools from 0oC to -10oC
= 100X10X2.1= 2100J.
Total heat = 8400+33600+2100 = 44100J.
Time taken = 73.5min = 4410s.
Now, average rate of heat extraction (power)
P = E/t
= 44100
= 10W
6. In an experiment, 17 g of ice is used to bring down the temperature of 40 g of water at 34oC to its freezing temperature. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.2 J g-1 K-1. Calculate the specific latent heat of ice. State one important assumption made in the above calculation.
Ans: Given, mass of ice m1 =17 g
mass of water m2 =40 g.
Change in temperature =34 - 0=34K
Specific heat capacity of water is 4.2Jg-1K-1.
Assume that there is no loss of heat, heat energy gained by ice (latent heat of ice), Q= heat energy release by water
Q = 40 × 34 × 4.2 = 5712 J.
Specific latent heat of ice, L=Q/m
= 5712/12
=336J g-1
7. The temperature of 170g of water at 500C to be lowered to 5oC by adding certain amount of ice to it. Find the mass of ice added. Given: Specific heat capacity of water=4200Jkg-1C-1 and specific latent het of ice =336000JKg-1.
Ans:
Given mass of water = 170 g = 0.17 kg
T1 = 50°C, T2 = 5°C,
Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg –1°C –1
Specific Latent heat of ice = 336000 J kg –1
Let ‘y’ mass of ice add then,
Heat lost by water = heat used by ice.
Water at 50°C to 5°C = ice at °C to water at °C + water at 0°C to 5°C
0.17 × 4200 ×(50-5)= y × 336000 + y × 5
= 32130
= 357000y
Now, y = 32130/357000
= 0.09 Kg or 90 g
8. Find the result of mixing 10g of ice at -10oC with 10g of water at 10oC. Specific heat capacity of ice is 2.1Jg-1K-1, specific latent heat of ice is 336Jg-1, and specific heat capacity of water is 4.2Jg-1 K-1.
Ans: Assuming all of the ice melt and the final temperature of mixture be ToC.
heat energy gain by ice of 10g at -10oC to raise its temperature to 0oC= 10x10x2.1=210J
heat energy gain by ice of 10g at 0oC to convert into water at 0oC=10x336=3360 J
heat energy gain by 10g of water (obtained from ice) at 0oC to raise its temperature to ToC = 10x4.2×(T-0)=42T
heat energy release by 10g of water at 10oC to lower its temperature to ToC = 10x4.2×(10-T)=420-42T
Heat energy gain = Heat energy lost
210 + 3360 + 42T = 420-42T
T = -37.5oC
This will not be possible because water cannot exist at this temperature.
Thus, the whole ice will not melt. Assume m gm of ice melt then the final temperature of the mixture becomes 0oC.
Thus, heat energy gain by 10g of ice at -10oC to raise its temperature to 0oC
= 10×10×2.1=210J
heat energy gain by m gram of ice at 0oC to convert into water at 0oC
= m × 336=336m J
then, released heat energy by 10g of water at 10oC to lower its temperature to 0oC is, = 10×4.2×(10-0)=420
Heat energy gain = Heat energy lost
210 + 336m = 420
m = 0.625 gm
9. A piece of ice of mass 40 g is added to 200 g of water at 50oC. Calculate the final temperature of water when all the ice has melted. Specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J kg-1 K-1, specific latent heat of fusion of ice =336 x 103 J kg-1.
Ans: Let the final temperature of water when it completely melts =ToC.
heat lost when 200g of water at 50oC cools to ToC is,
200 × 4.2×(50-T) = 42000-840T
heat gain when 40g of ice at 0oC converts into water at 0oC.is
40 ×336J
=13440 J
heat gain by water of 40g at 0oC when temperature rises to ToC= 40×4.2×(T-0)
= 168T
We know,
Amount of heat gain = amount of heat energy lost.
13440+168T= 42000-840T
168T+840T= 42000-13440
1008T= 28560
T=28560/1008=28.33oC.
10. Calculate the mass of ice needed to cool 150g of water contained in a calorimeter of mass 50g at 32oC such that the final temperature is 5oC. Specific heat capacity of calorimeter =0.4Jg-1C-1, Specific heat capacity of water =4.2Jg-1C-1, latent heat capacity of ice=330Jg-1
Ans: We know that, Heat energy loss by (water+Calorimeter) = Heat energy gain by ice
So, heat energy loss by (water+calorimeter) = mw Cpw ΔT + mC Cpc ΔT = mi ( L + Cpw δT ) ........(1)
where, mw = mass of water = 50 g
Cpw = Specific heat of water = 4.2 J/( g °C )
mC = mass of calorimeter = 50 g
Cpc = Specific heat capacity of calorimeter = 0.4 J/( g °C )
ΔT = fall in temperature of water and calorimeter = 32-5 = 27°C
mi = mass of ice in gram
L = latent heat capacity of ice = 330 J/g
δT = rise in temperature = 5 °C
by placing all the values in equation (1) and will get the mass of ice,
mi =150×4.2×27 + 50×0.4x27 / 330×4.2×5
= 50g
11. 250 g of water at 30o C is contained in a copper vessel of mass 50 g. Calculate the mass of ice required to bring down the temperature of vessel and its contents to 5o C. specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336 x 103 J kg-1, specific heat capacity of copper = 400 J kg-1 K-1, specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J kg-1 K-1.
Ans: Given, mass of copper vessel (m1 ) is 50 g.
The mass of water contained in a copper vessel (m2) is 250 g.
mass of ice required to bring down the temperature of vessel is m
And the final temperature is 5o C.
heat gain when 'm' g of ice at 0o C melts into water at 0o C = m × 336 J
heat gained when temperature of 'm' g of water at 0o C rises to 5o C = m× 4.2× 5
Total heat gain = m × 336 + m × 4.2 × 5
heat lost when 250 g of water at 30o C cool down to 5o C
=250 × 4.2 × 25 = 26250 J
heat lost when 50 g of vessel at 30o C cools to 5o C
=50 × 0.4 × 25 = 500 J
Total heat lost = 26250 + 500 = 26750 J
Now, heat gained = heat lost
m × 336 + m × 4.2 × 5 = 26750
357 m = 26750
m = 26750/357 = 74.93 g
So, the mass of ice will be 74.93 g.
12. 2 kg of ice melts when water at 100oC is poured in a hole drilled in a block of ice. What mass of water was used? Specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J kg-1 K-1, specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336 J g-1.
Ans: Till the whole block does not melt and only 2 kg of it melts, final temperature will be 0 oC.
heat energy gained by ice of 2 kg at 0oC to convert into water at 0oC=2×336000=672000 J
Assume that amount of water poured is m kg.
Initial temperature of water =100oC.
Final temperature of water =0oC.
heat energy loss by water of m kg at 100oC to reach temperature 0oC =
m ×4200×100 = 420000m J
Now, we know
heat energy gained =heat energy lost.
672000J= m×420000J
m=672000/420000
=1.6 kg
13. Calculate the total amount of heat energy required to convert 100 g of ice at -10o C completely into water at 100o C. Specific heat capacity of ice 2.1 J g-1 K-1, specific heat capacity of water is 4.2 J g-1 K-1, specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336 J g-1.
Ans: heat energy gain by 100 g of ice at -10o C to raise its temperature to 0o C is,
100 × 2.1 × 10 = 2100 J
heat energy gain by 100 g of ice at 0o C to convert into water at 0o C is,
100 × 336 = 33600 J
heat energy gain when temperature of 100 g of water at 0o C rises to 100o C is,
100 × 4.2 × 100 = 42000 J
So, total heat energy gained is = 2100 + 33600 + 42000 = 77700 J = 7.77 × 104 J.
14. The amount of heat energy required to convert 1 kg of ice at -10oC completely into water at 100oC is 777000 J. Calculate the specific latent heat of ice. Specific heat capacity of ice = 2100 J kg-1 K-1, Specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J kg-1 K-1.
Ans: heat energy gain by 1kg of ice at -10oC to raise its temperature to 0oC is,
= 1 × 2100 × 10 = 21000 J
Let, heat energy gain by 1kg of ice at 0oC to convert into water at 0oC is L
So, heat energy gained when temperature of 1kg of water at 0oC rises to 100oC is,
= 1 × 4200 × 100 = 420000 J
Total heat energy gained is = 21000+420000+L=441000 +L.
Given that total heat gained is =777000J.
So,
441000+L=777000.
L=777000-441000.
L=336000 J Kg-1
15. 200 g of ice at 0 °C converts into water at 0 °C in 1 minute when heat is supplied to it at a constant rate. In how much time, 200 g of water at 0 °C will change to 20 °C? Take specific latent heat of ice = 336 J g-1.
Ans: Given that, mass of ice (mice) is = 200 g
Time taken by ice to melt is, t1 = 1 min = 60 s
Mass of the water, mw = 200 g
And temperature change of water is, ΔT = 20 °C
We know that, Rate of heat exchange is constant. So, power require for converting ice into water will same as the power require to rice the temperature of water
So,, P Ice= P Water
E Ice / t1 = EWater / t2
miceL/t1 = mWcw ΔT/t2
t2=mWcw ΔTxt1/miceL
t2=200×4.2x20x60 / 200×336
t2=15 s
So, time will be 15 seconds.
