प्रश्न
During summers in India, one of the common practice to keep cool is to make ice balls of crushed ice, dip it in flavoured sugar syrup and sip it. For this a stick is inserted into crushed ice and is squeezed in the palm to make it into the ball. Equivalently in winter, in those areas where it snows, people make snow balls and throw around. Explain the formation of ball out of crushed ice or snow in the light of P–T diagram of water.

उत्तर
Refer to the P–T diagram of water and the double-headed arrow. Increasing pressure at 0°C and 1 atm take ice into a liquid state and decreasing pressure in a liquid state at O°C and 1 atm takes water to the ice state.
When crushed ice is squeezed, some of it melts, filling up gap between ice flakes upon releasing pressure. This water freezes, binding all ice flakes and making the ball more stable.

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.
