$1 \text{ kg}$ of steam at $150^{\circ} \text{C}$ is passed from a steam chamber into a copper coil immersed in $20 \text{ L}$ of water. The steam condenses in the coil and is returned to the steam chamber as water at $90^{\circ} \text{C}$. The latent heat of steam is $540 \text{ cal g}^{-1}$,and the specific heat of steam is $1 \text{ cal g}^{-1} {}^{\circ} \text{C}^{-1}$. The rise in temperature of the water is: (in $^{\circ} \text{C}$)

  • A
    $75$
  • B
    $60$
  • C
    $30$
  • D
    $20$

$A$ tap supplies water at $10\,^{\circ}C$ and another tap at $100\,^{\circ}C$. How many $kg$ of hot water must be taken so that we get $20\, kg$ of water at $35\,^{\circ}C$?

We have half a bucket $(6\,L)$ of water at $20\,^oC$. If we want water at $40\,^oC$,how much steam at $100\,^oC$ should be added to it?

The specific heat of alcohol is about half that of water. Suppose you have identical masses of alcohol and water. The alcohol is initially at temperature $T_A$. The water is initially at a different temperature $T_W$. Now the two fluids are mixed in the same container and allowed to come into thermal equilibrium,with no loss of heat to the surroundings. The final temperature of the mixture will be
