Define the following terms:
Heat
Temperature
Calorie
Heat capacity,
Specific heat capacity
Latent heat
Specific latent heat

Write the statement of the principle of calorimety.

Why does the temperature of the surroundings start falling when the ice of a
frozen lake starts melting?

Why does a wise farmer waters his fields, if the forecast says it is going to be
frost?

Which of the two, 1g of ice at 0C or 1g of water at 0C, contains more heat?

10125 J of heat energy boils off 4.5g of water at 100C. Find the specific latent
heat of steam.

Water falls from a height of 50m. Calculate the rise in the temperature of water
when it strikes the bottom.
( g = 10m/s2; Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg0C)

What will be the result of mixing 400 g of copper chips at 500C with 500 g of
crushed ice at 0C.
(sp. heat capacity of copper = 0.42 Jg1K1 and sp. latent heat of fusion of ice
= 340 Jg1).

1. Find the result of mixing 10 g of ice at 10C with 10 g of water at 10C.

(sp. heat capacity of ice = 2.1 Jg 1K1; sp. latent heat of ice = 336 Jg 1 and
specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J g1 K1)

2. An ice cube of mass 30 g, is dropped in 200 g of water at 30 C, such that all

the ice melts. Calculate final temperature of water.
