प्रश्न
A piece of ice is heated at a constant rate. The variation of temperature with heat input is shown in the graph below:

उत्तर
(i) AB part of the graph represents time in t seconds taken by ice at 0°C to convert into water at 0°C.
CD part of the graph represents time in seconds taken by water at 100°C to convert into steam at 100°C.
(ii) From the graph, we conclude that ice takes less time in heating from -10°C to 0°C. But in the process of melting, it takes comparatively longer time. It shows that ice has a high specific latent heat of fusion.

A child running a temperature of 101°F is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to 98 °F in 20 min, what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused, by the drug? Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is 30 kg. The specific heat of human body is approximately the same as that of water, and latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about 580 cal g–1.
