Question 11 Mark
Calculate the heat energy that will be released when 5.0 kg of steam at 100°C condenses to form water at 100°C. Express your answer in S.I. unit. (Specific latent heat of vaporization of steam is 2268 kj/kg.)
Answer
Heat released by 5 kg of steam at 100°C to convert into water at 100°C. = mL
= 5 × 2268 KJ = 11440 kj.

Question 31 Mark
$m\ kg$ of a substance of specific heat capacity $s / kg ^{\circ} C$ is heated so that its temperature rises from $\theta_1{ }^{\circ} C$ to $\theta_2{ }^{\circ} C$.
Write down the expression for the heat $Q$ supplied.
Answer
Heat supplied $Q =$ mass $\times sp$.
heat capacity $\times$ rise in temperature $= m \times s \times\left(\theta_2-\theta_1\right)$

Question 91 Mark
Give one consequence of the high specific latent heat of fusion of ice.
Answer
Due to high specific latent heat of fusion of ice, snow on the mountains does not melt all at once but changes into water slowely as it gets heat from the sun.

Question 101 Mark

Which contains more heat: 1 G water at 100°C or 1 g steam at 100°C? Give reason.

Answer
1 gram of water at 100°C requires 540 calories of heat to get converted into 1 gram of steam at 100°C. So, steam has more heat.

Question 111 Mark
When 1 g of ice at 0 °C melts to form 1 g of water at 0 °C then, is the latent heat absorbed by the ice or given out by it?
Answer
Latent heat is absorbed by the melting ice.

Question 121 Mark
What happens to the heat supplied to a substance when the heat supplied causes no change in the temperature of the substance?
Answer
This heat supplied is used in the change of state. This heat is known as Latent heat.

Question 131 Mark
Explain the meaning of the term latent heat. State its S. I. unit.
Answer
The heat absorbed or liberated by a substance during its change of state at a constant temperature is called latent heat. Its S. I. unit is J/kg.

Question 171 Mark
If, in a central heating system, steam enters a radiation pipe at 100°C and water leaves the radiation pipe at 100°C, can this radiation pipe heat a room? Give an explanation for your answer.
Answer
Yes, because steam at 100°C gives out its latent heat of vaporisation to condense to water ut the same temperature of 100°C.
