A closed steel cylinder is completely filled with water at 0^(@)C . The water is made to freeze at 0^(@)C . Calculate the rise in pressure on the cylinder wall. It is known that density of water at 0^(@)C is 1000 kg//m^(3) and the density of ice at 0^(@)C is 910 kg//m^(3) . Bulk modulus of ice at 0^(@)C is nearly 9 xx 10^(9) Pa . [Compare this pressure to the atmospheric pressure. Now you can easily understand why water pipelines burst in cold regions as the winter sets in.]

A mixture of two immiscible liquids nitrobenzene and water boiling at 99^(circ)C shows a partial pressure of the closest value of their weight ratio. (Water: nitrobenzene)

A 100 g cube of aluminium is removed from a bath of boiling water and dropped in a bath of room temperature water (2.00 litres at 20.0^(@)C ). What is the final temperature of the water assuming heat loss to the surroundings is negligible? The specific heat capacity of aluminium is 897 J/kg .^(@)C .

Assertion : Water can be made to boil without heating. Reason : Boiling point is lowered by increasing pressure.
