Heat is supplied to a certain homogenous sample of matter, at a uniform rate. Its temperature is plotted against time, as shown. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn
Its specific heat capacity is greater in the solid state than in the liquid state
Its specific heat capacity is greater in the liquid state than in the solid state
Its latent heat of vaporization is greater than its latent heat of fusion
Both $(b)$ and $(c)$
Which of the substances $A, B$ or $C$ has the highest specific heat $?$ The temperature vs time graph is shown
What is the main difference between $P \to T$ diagram of water and $C{O_2}$ ?
$Assertion :$ Melting of solid causes no change in internal energy.
$Reason :$ Latent heat is the heat required to melt a unit mass of solid.
What is latent heat of fusion ? What is latent heat of vapourization ? Give its value for water.
Match the following according to conversion by heat :
Column $-I$ | Column $-II$ |
$(a)$ Required heat to convert solid into gaseous. | $(i)$ Latent heat of fusion |
$(b)$ Required heat to convert solid into liquid. | $(ii)$ Latent heat of vaporization. |
