Thermal Properties of Matter · Question 16

The heat extracted out of x gram of water initially at 50 °C to cool it down to 0 °C is sufficient to evaporate (1000-x) gram of water also initially at 50 °C. The value of x (closest integer) is . (Take latent heat of water 2256 kJ/kg, specific heat capacity of water 4200 J/kg. K)

The temperature of a metal strip having coefficient of linear expansion is increased from T1 to T2 resulting in increase of its length by L1. The temperature is further increased from T2 to T3 such that the increase in its length is L2. Given T3+T1=2T2 and T2-T1= T, the value of L2 is .

2. L1 [1+ 2( T)2 ]
3. L1 [1+2 T ]
4. L1 [1+ T ]

A gas of certain mass filled in a closed cylinder at a pressure of 3.23 kPa has temperature 50 . The gas is now heated to double its temperature. The modified pressure is Pa.

An air bubble of volume 2.9 cm3 rises from the bottom of a swimming pool of 5 m deep. At the bottom of the pool water temperature is 17 . The volume of the bubble when it reaches the surface, where the water temperature is 27 , is cm3. (g = 10 m/s2, density of water = 103 kg/m3, and 1 atm pressure is 105 Pa)
