The temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid becomes equals to the external (atmospheric) pressure is its
Melting point
Sublimation point
Critical temperature
Boiling point
A solid material is supplied with heat at a constant rate. The temperature of material is changing with heat input as shown in the figure. What does slope $DE$ represent.
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
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
What is latent heat ? Explain with example.
During summers in India, one of the common practice to keep cool is to make ice balls of crushed ice, dip it in flavoured sugar syrup and sip it. For this a stick is inserted into crushed ice and is squeezed in the palm to make it into the ball. Equivalently in winter, in those areas where it snows, people make snow balls and throw around. Explain the formation of ball out of crushed ice or snow in the light of $p\to T$ diagram of water.
