उत्तर
Given,
Mass (m) = 5.0 g
Specific heat capacity of water (c) = 4.2 J g-1 K-1
Specific latent heat of fusion of ice (L) = 336 J g-1
(i) Heat energy released when water lowers it's temperature from 20° C to 0° C
= m × c × change in temperature
Substituting the values in the formula we get,
Q1 = 5 × 4.2 × (20 − 0)
Q1 = 5 × 4.2 × 20
⇒ Q1 = 420 J
(ii) Heat energy released when water at 0° C changes into ice at 0° C = m × L
Substituting the values in the formula we get,
Q2 = 5 × 336 J
⇒ Q2 = 1680 J
From relation,
Q = Q1 + Q2
Q = 420 + 1680
Q = 2100
Total heat released = 2100 J

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.
