In an industrial process $10\, kg$ of water per hour is to be heated from $20^o C$ to $80^o C$ . To do this steam at $200^o C$ is passed from a boiler into a copper coil immersed in water. The steam condenses in the coil and is returned to the boiler as water at $90^o C$. How many kg of steam is required per hour. (Specific heat of steam $= 0.5\, cal/g^o C$, Latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 cal/g)$

Which of the following material is used to make calorimeter?

A piece of ice (heat capacity $=$ $2100$ $J kg^{-1}$ $^o C^{-1}$ and latent heat $=$ $3.36$ $×$ $10^5$ $J kg^{-1}$) of mass $m$ grams is at $-5^o C$ at atmospheric pressure. It is given $420$ $J$ of heat so that the ice starts melting. Finally when the ice-water mixture is in equilibrium, it is found that $1$ $gm$ of ice has melted. Assuming there is no other heat exchange in the process, the value of $m$ is ...... $gm$
