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
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.
$Assertion :$ Melting of solid causes no change in internal energy.
$Reason :$ Latent heat is the heat required to melt a unit mass of solid.
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 $=335\; J g ^{-1})$
