KVPY2017PhysicsThermal Properties of Matter
Two different liquids of same mass are kept in two identical vessels, which are placed in a freezer that extracts heat from them at the same rate causing each liquid to transform into a solid. The schematic figure below shows the temperature T vs time t plot for the two materials. We denote the specific heat in the liquid statusto be C_ L 1 and C_ L 2 for materials 1 and 2 respectively, and latent heats of fusion U₁
Options
- AC_ L1 >C_ L 2 and U₁ < U₂
- BC_ L 1 > C _ L 2 and U ₁> U ₂
- CC _ L1 U ₂
- DC_ L1 < C _ 2 and U₁ < U₂
Correct answer
C. C _ L1 U ₂
Step-by-step solution
Let Refrigerater extract Q joul/per second Q.t ms ( T _ f - T ) Higher the specific heat, Higher the slope
