The temperature of glass vessel containing 100cm3 of mercury is raised from 10oC to 100oC. Calculate the apparent cubic expansion of the mercury. (Real cubic expansivity of mercury = 1.82 x 10-4K-1) (Cubic expansivity of glass = 2.4 x 10-5K-1)
How much heat is required to convert 20 g of ice at 0oC to water at the same temperature? (Specific latent heat of ice = 336 J g-1)
When two objects P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that in Q. lf the masses of P and Q are the same, calculate the ratio of the specific heat capacities of Q to P.
