One end of a copper rod of length 1.0 m and area of cross-section 10-3 m2 is immersed in boiling water and the other end in ice. If the coefficient of thermal conductivity of copper is 92 cal/m-s °C and the latent heat of ice is 8×104 cal/kg, then the amount of ice which will melt in one minute is -

Explanation

(c) Heat transferred in one minute is utilised in melting the ice so, KAθ1-θ2tl=m×L

m=10-3×92×100-0×601×8×104=6.9×10-3 kg

An ice box used for keeping eatable cold has a total wall area of 1 metre2 and a wall thickness of 5.0 cm. The thermal conductivity of the ice box is K = 0.01 joule/metre-s-°C. It is filled with ice at 0°C along with eatables on a day when the temperature is 30°C. The latent heat of fusion of ice is 334 ×103 joules/kg. The amount of ice melted in one day is ( 1 day = 86,400 seconds )

Explanation

(c) Q=σAtT4-T04

If T, T0σ and t are same for both bodies then

QsphereQcube=AsphereAcube=4πr26a2              ....(i) 

But according to problem, volume of sphere = Volume of cube43πr3=a3a=43π1/3r

Substituting the value of a in equation (i) we get 

QsphereQcube=4πr26a2=4πr2643π1/3r2=4πr2643π2/3r2=π61/3:1

the gas (preferably hydrogen or helium) is enclosed in a glass or fused-quartz bulb connected to a mercury manometer.

Which of the following statements correctly defines an ideal gas?

Explanation

According to the KINETIC_THEORY chapter, 'A gas that satisfies Eq. (12.3) [PV = $\mu$RT] exactly at all pressures and temperatures is defined to be an ideal gas.'

At what conditions do real gases closely approximate ideal gas behavior?

Explanation

The KINETIC_THEORY chapter states, 'Notice that all curves approach the ideal gas behaviour for low pressures and high temperatures.' This is because molecules are far apart and molecular interactions are negligible under these conditions.

Boyle's law describes the inverse relationship between pressure and volume of a gas. For a fixed quantity of ideal gas, under which condition is Boyle's law applicable?

Explanation

The KINETIC_THEORY chapter mentions, 'If we fix $\mu$ and T in Eq. (12.3) [PV = $\mu$RT], we get PV = constant... i.e., keeping temperature constant, pressure of a given mass of gas varies inversely with volume. This is the famous Boyle’s law.'

According to Charles' law, for a fixed pressure, the volume of a gas is proportional to which of the following?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

The KINETIC_THEORY chapter states, 'if you fix P, Eq. (12.1) shows that V $\propto$ T i.e., for a fixed pressure, the volume of a gas is proportional to its absolute temperature T (Charles’ law).'
