Answer the following questions based on the P–T phase diagram of CO2:
CO2 at 1 atm pressure and temperature – 60 °C is compressed isothermally. Does it go through a liquid phase?

उत्तर १
No
The P-T phase diagram for CO2 is shown in the following figure.

At 1 atm pressure and at –60°C, CO2 lies to the left of –56.6°C (triple point C). Hence, it lies in the region of vaporous and solid phases.
Thus, CO2 condenses into the solid state directly, without going through the liquid state
उत्तर २
No, the CO2 does not go through the liquid phase. The point (1.00 atm, – 60°C) is to the lift of the triple-point O and below the sublimation curve OA. Therefore, when CO2 is compressed at this point at constant temperature, the point moves perpendicular to the temperature-axis and enters the solid phase region. Hence, the CO2 vapour condenses to solid directly without going through the liquid phase.

A ‘thermacole’ icebox is a cheap and efficient method for storing small quantities of cooked food in summer in particular. A cubical icebox of side 30 cm has a thickness of 5.0 cm. If 4.0 kg of ice is put in the box, estimate the amount of ice remaining after 6 h. The outside temperature is 45 °C, and coefficient of thermal conductivity of thermacole is 0.01 J s–1 m–1 K–1.

A metal block of heat capacity 80 J°C−1 placed in a room at 20°C is heated electrically. The heater is switched off when the temperature reaches 30°C. The temperature of the block rises at the rate of 2°C s−1 just after the heater is switched on and falls at the rate of 0.2°C s−1 just after the heater is switched off. Assume Newton's law of cooling to hold.
- Find the power of the heater.
- Find the power radiated by the block just after the heater is switched off.
- Find the power radiated by the block when the temperature of the block is 25°C.
- Assuming that the power radiated at 25°C represents the average value in the heating process, find the time for which the heater was kept on.
