A solid cube having certain fixed melting and boiling points takes heat from some source.The variation of temperature $\theta$ of the cube with the heat supplied $Q$ is shown in the adjoining graph. The portion $BC$ of the graph represents the conversion of
Solid into vapour
Solid into liquid
Liquid into vapour
Vapour into liquid
Why the cooking is faster in pressure cooker ?
What is the effect of pressures on boiling point of water ?
Answer the following questions based on the $P-T$ phase diagram of $CO _{2}$
$(a)\;CO _{2}$ at $1\; atm$ pressure and temperature $-60\,^{\circ} C$ is compressed isothermally. Does it go through a llquid phase?
$(b)$ What happens when $CO _{2}$ at $4\; atm$ pressure is cooled from room temperature at constant pressure?
$(c)$ Describe qualitatively the changes in a given mass of solid $CO _{2}$ at $10 \;atm$ pressure and temperature $-65\,^{\circ} C$ as it is heated up to room temperature at constant pressure.
$(d)\;CO_{2}$ is heated to a temperature $70\,^{\circ} C$ and compressed isothermally. What changes in its properties do you expect to observe?
An ice cube at temperature $-20^o C$ is kept in a room at temperature $20^o C$. The variation of temperature of the body with time is given by
A given mass $m$ of a hypothetical solid is supplied with heat continuously at a constant rate and the graph shown in the adjacent figure is plotted. If $L_f$ and $L_v$ are latent heats of fusion and latent heats of vaporization and $S_l$ and $S_s$ are specific heats of liquid and solid respectively. It can be concluded that
