Define latent heat of fusion of ice.

A substance initially in solid state at 0^@ C is heated. The graph showing the variation in temperature with the amount of heat supplied is shown in Fig. 11.7. If the specific heat capacity of the solid substance is 500 J kg^(-1)^@C^(-1) , use graph to find : (i) the mass of the substance, and (ii) the specific latent heat of fusion of the substance in the liquid state.

State in brief, the meaning of each of the following: The specific latent heat of fusion of ice is 336000 J kg^(-1)

The SI unit of specific latent heat is:

A small quantity mass m, of water at a temperature theta ("in " ^(@)C) is poured on to a larger mass M of ice which is at its melting point. If c is the specific heat capacity of water and L the specific heat capacity of water and L the specific latent heat of fusion of ice, then the mass of ice melted is give by

A small quantity mass m, of water at a temperature theta ("in " ^(@)C) is poured on to a larger mass M of ice which is at its melting point. If c is the specific heat capacity of water and L the specific heat capacity of water and L the specific latent heat of fusion of ice, then the mass of ice melted is give by

A substance is in the solid form at 0^@ C. The amount of heat added to this substance and its temperature are plotted in the following graph. If the relative specific heat capacity of the solid substance is 0.5, find from the graph (i) the mass of the substance, (ii) the specific latent heat of the melting process and (ii) the specific heat of the substance in the liquid state. Specific heat capacity of water =1000 cal//kg//K
