2kg ice at -20"^(@)C is mixed with 5kg water at 20"^(@)C . Then final amount of water in the mixture will be: [specific heat of ice =0.5 cal//gm "^(@)C , Specific heat of water =1 cal//gm"^(@)C , Latent heat of fusion of ice = 80 cal//gm]

Water of volume 4L in a closed container is heated with a coil of 2 kW. While water is heated, the container loses energy at a rate of 120 J/s. In how much time will the temperature of water rise from 27^(@)C to 77^(@)C ? (Specific heat of water is 4.2 kJ/kg and that of the container is negligible).

A heater melts 0^@C ice in a bucket completely into water in 6 minutes and then evaporates all that water into steam in 47 minutes 30 sec . If latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal//gram , latent heat of steam will be (specific heat of water is 1 cal//gam-^@C )
