An amount of ice of mass $10^{-3} \ kg$ and temperature $-10^{\circ} C$ is transformed to vapour of temperature $110^{\circ} C$ by applying heat. The total amount of heat required for this conversion is,(Take,specific heat of ice $= 2100 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$,specific heat of water $= 4180 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$,specific heat of steam $= 1920 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$,Latent heat of ice $= 3.35 \times 10^5 \ J \ kg^{-1}$ and Latent heat of steam $= 2.25 \times 10^6 \ J \ kg^{-1}$) (in $J$)

Water falls from a height of $500\,m$. The rise in temperature of the water at the bottom,assuming all energy remains in the water,will be ........ $^oC$ [Specific heat of water = $4.2\,kJ/kg\cdot K$]

$22320 \ cal$ of heat is supplied to $100 \ g$ of ice at $0^{\circ} C$. If the latent heat of fusion of ice is $80 \ cal \ g^{-1}$ and latent heat of vaporization of water is $540 \ cal \ g^{-1}$, the final amount of water thus obtained and its temperature respectively are:
