Two substances $A$ and $B$ of equal mass m are heated at uniform rate of $6\, cal s^{-1}$ under similar conditions. $A$ graph between temperature and time is shown in figure. Ratio of heat absorbed ${H_A}/{H_B}$ by them for complete fusion is

A

$\frac{9}{4}$

B

$\frac{4}{9}$

C

$\frac{8}{5}$

D

$\frac{5}{8}$

Solution

(c) From given curve,

Melting point for $A = 60^\circ C$

and melting point for $B = 20^\circ C$

Time taken by $A$ for fusion $ = (6 – 2) = 4$ $minute$

Time taken by $B$ for fusion $ = (6.5 – 4) = 2.5$ $minute$

Then $\frac{{{H_A}}}{{{H_B}}} = \frac{{6 \times 4 \times 60}}{{6 \times 2.5 \times 60}} = \frac{8}{5}$.
