What are fusion and melting point ? On what does the value of melting point depend ?
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
Answer the following questions based on the $P-T$ phase diagram of $CO _{2}$
$(a)\;CO _{2}$ at $1\; atm$ pressure and temperature $-60\,^{\circ} C$ is compressed isothermally. Does it go through a llquid phase?
$(b)$ What happens when $CO _{2}$ at $4\; atm$ pressure is cooled from room temperature at constant pressure?
$(c)$ Describe qualitatively the changes in a given mass of solid $CO _{2}$ at $10 \;atm$ pressure and temperature $-65\,^{\circ} C$ as it is heated up to room temperature at constant pressure.
$(d)\;CO_{2}$ is heated to a temperature $70\,^{\circ} C$ and compressed isothermally. What changes in its properties do you expect to observe?
The saturation vapour pressure of water at $100°C$ is ........ $mm$ of mercury
The temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid becomes equals to the external (atmospheric) pressure is its
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.
