Two different liquids of same mass are kept in two identical vessels, which are placed in a freezer that extracts heat from them at the same rate causing each liquid to transform into a solid. The schematic figure below shows that temperature $T$ versus time $t$ plot for the two materials. We denote the specific heat of materials in the liquid (solid) states to be $C_{L 1}$ $\left(C_{S 1}\right)$ and $C_{L 2}\left(C_{S 2}\right)$, respectively. Choose the correct option given below.

Explain three states and change in states for matter.

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 

A copper block of mass $2.5\; kg$ is heated in a furnace to a temperature of $500\,^{\circ} C$ and then placed on a large ice block. What is the maximum amount of ice (in $kg$) that can melt? (Specific heat of copper $=0.39\; J g ^{-1} K ^{-1}$ ;heat of fusion of water $=335\; J g ^{-1})$
