When a small ice crystal is placed know into supercooled water, it begins to freeze instant aneously. What amount of ice is formed from 1 kg of water supercoled to - `8^(0)` C ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

mL = `m^(-1) s. theta rArr m xx 80 ( 1000 - m ) xx 1 xx 8 `
On simplification, m = 90.9 g .

One end of a unifonn metal rod of length 100 cm is placed in ice and the other end is placed in boiling water. A point of the rod which is at a distance of 60 cm from the ice end is maintained at a constant temperature of 325^(@) C. If 2 g of water is converted into steam per second.-the mass of ice melted per second in steady state is (Latent heat of steam = 6.75 times latent heat of fusion of ice)

The latent heat of fusion of ice is the amount of energy required to change 1 kg of ice completely Into water at atmospheric pressure :

Most substances contract on freezing. However, water does not belong to this category. We know that water expands on freezing. Further, coefficient of volume expansion of water in the temperature range from 0^(0)C to 4^(0)C is negative and above 4^(0)C it is positive. This behaviour of water shapes the freezing of lakes as the atmospheric temperature goes down and it has an extremely important effect on plant and animal life in lakes. If the atmospheric temperature is below 0^(0)C and ice begins to form at t = 0, thickness of ice sheet formed up to a time .t. will be directly proportional to

This behaviour of water shapes the freezing of lakes as the atmospheric temperature goes down and it has an extremely important effect on plant and animal life in lakes. Under fixed atmospheric conditions, if it takes 2 hr. to form a 1 cm thick layer of ice in a lake, time taken for the thickness of ice layer to grow further by 1 cm will be
