What is vapourization ? What is normal boiling point ?
Fire is extinguished more effectively by
A lead bullet at $27°C$ just melts when stopped by an obstacle. Assuming that $25\%$ of heat is absorbed by the obstacle, then the velocity of the bullet at the time of striking........ $m/sec$ ($M.P.$ of lead $= 327°C,$ specific heat of lead $= 0.03\, cal/gm°C,$ latent heat of fusion of lead $= 6\, cal/gm$ and $J = 4.2\, joule/cal)$
Why skating is possible on ice ?
At atmospheric pressure, the water boils at $100°C$. If pressure is reduced, it will boil at
The temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid becomes equals to the external (atmospheric) pressure is its
