The graph shows the variation of temperature $(T)$ of one kilogram of a material with the heat $(H)$ supplied to it. At $O,$ the substance is in the solid state. From the graph, we can conclude that
${T_2}$ is the melting point of the solid
$BC$ represents the change of state from solid to liquid
$({H_2} - {H_1})$ represents the latent heat of fusion of the substance
$({H_3} - {H_1})$ represents the latent heat of vaporization of the liquid
A child running a temperature of $101\,^{\circ} F$ is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to $98\,^{\circ} F$ in $20$ minutes, what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused, by the drug (in $g/min$). Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is $30\; kg$. The spectfic heat of human body is approximately the same as that of water, and latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about $580\; cal \;g^{-1}$.
What are fusion and melting point ? On what does the value of melting point depend ?
The figure given below shows the cooling curve of pure wax material after heating. It cools from $A$ to $B$ and solidifies along $BD$. If $L$ and $C$ are respective values of latent heat and the specific heat of the liquid wax, the ratio $L/C$ is
Liquid oxygen at $50\ K$ is heated to $300\ K$ at constant pressure of $1\ atm$. The rate of heating is constant which of the following graphs represents the variation of temperature with time
What are vapourization and boiling point ? Explain the process of boiling of water.
