$A$ calorimeter has a water equivalent of $5 \times 10^{-3} \ kg$ and contains $25 \times 10^{-3} \ kg$ of water. It takes $3 \ minutes$ to cool from $28^{\circ}C$ to $21^{\circ}C$. When it is filled with turpentine oil,it takes $2 \ minutes$ to cool from $28^{\circ}C$ to $21^{\circ}C$. The specific heat of turpentine oil is ..... $cal/g^{\circ}C$.

$10 \, g$ of ice at $0^{\circ} C$ is kept in a calorimeter of water equivalent $10 \, g$. How much heat (in $cal$) should be supplied to the apparatus to evaporate the water thus formed? (Neglect loss of heat)

$A$ piece of ice (heat capacity = $2100 \text{ J kg}^{-1} \text{ }^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$ and latent heat = $3.36 \times 10^5 \ J kg^{-1}$) of mass $m$ grams is at $-5^oC$ 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 ...... $gm$.
