$A$ piece of ice (heat capacity $= 2100 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ and latent heat $= 3.36 \times 10^5 \ J \ kg^{-1}$) of mass $m$ grams is at $-5^{\circ}C$ 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 $1 \ g$ of ice has melted. Assuming there is no other heat exchange in the process,the value of $m$ is:

  • A
    $7$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $9$
  • D
    $5$

Two liquids of equal mass have temperatures $32^{\circ}C$ and $24^{\circ}C$. When mixed,the final temperature becomes $28^{\circ}C$. What is the ratio of their specific heats?

One kilogram of ice at $0^{\circ}C$ is mixed with one kilogram of water at $80^{\circ}C$. The final temperature of the mixture is ........ $^{\circ}C$. (Take: specific heat of water $= 4200 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$,latent heat of ice $= 336 \ kJ \ kg^{-1}$)

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
