What are freezing and freezing point ?
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 closed bottle containing water at $30^{\circ} C$ is open on the surface of the moon. Then,
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.
The variation of density of water with temperature is represented by the
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.
