Heat is supplied to a certain homogeneous sample of matter at a uniform rate. Its temperature is plotted against time,as shown. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn?

  • A
    Its specific heat capacity is greater in the solid state than in the liquid state.
  • B
    Its specific heat capacity is greater in the liquid state than in the solid state.
  • C
    Its latent heat of vaporization is greater than its latent heat of fusion.
  • D

Why do we get burnt more by steam than by boiling water at the same temperature?

Two substances $A$ and $B$ of equal mass $m$ are heated at a uniform rate of $6 \, cal \, s^{-1}$ under similar conditions. $A$ graph between temperature and time is shown in the figure. The ratio of heat absorbed $H_A/H_B$ by them for complete fusion is

An experiment takes $10\, minutes$ to raise the temperature of water in a container from $0\,^oC$ to $100\,^oC$ and another $55\, minutes$ to convert it totally into steam by a heater supplying heat at a uniform rate. Neglecting the specific heat of the container and taking the specific heat of water to be $1\, cal/g\,^oC$,the heat of vaporization according to this experiment will be ........ $cal/g$.

If water at $0\,^{\circ}C$ kept in a container with an open mouth is placed in a large evacuated chamber,what will happen?
