Find the final temperature in the form of the system when steam at is mixed with ice at Take and the latent heat of fusion and vaporization as and respectively. Find the value of .

A heater supplying constant power watts is switched ON at time to raise the temperature of a liquid kept in a calorimeter of negligible heat capacity. A student records the temperature of the liquid at equal time intervals. A graph is plotted with on the -axis versus on the -axis. Assume that there is no heat loss to the surroundings during heating. Then,
