EASY

Write the quadrants in which the following points lie:

-4,7

MEDIUM
It takes 4500 J to turn  2 g of water at 100 °C into steam. Calculate the latent specific heat of vaporization of water.
EASY

Define Specific latent heat of fusion.

MEDIUM
How much heat is required to convert 5 g of ice at 0 °C into 5 g of water at 0 °C?
HARD

How much ice at -10°C must be dropped into a cup containing 300 g of water at 20°C in order for the temperature of the water to be reduced to 10°C? The cup itself has a mass of 150 g and is made out of aluminium. Assume that no energy is lost to the surroundings.

(Specific heat capacity of ice=2200 J kg-1 K-1; specific latent heat of fusion of ice=334 J kg-1 K-1; specific heat capacity of water=4200 J kg-1 K-1.)
