The temperature of pure melting ice is :

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The negative slope is because of change of

phase. This happens to lqiuids which contract on melting.

A block of ice with a lead shot embedded in it is floating on water contained in a vessel. The temperature of the system is maintained at 0^@C as the ice melts. When the ice melts completely the level of water in the vessel rises.

State true/false: S_1 : Hydrostatic pressure is a scalar quantity even though pressure is force divided by area and force is a vector quantity? S_2 : A barometer made of a very narrow tube (see figure) is placed at normal temperature and pressure. The coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 0.00018//.^@C and that of the tube is negligible. The temperature of mercury in the barometer is now raised by 1^@C but the temperature of the atmosphere does not change. Then, the mercury height in the tube remains unchanged.
