The following diagrams illustrate three situations involving thermometers which are labeled A, Band C. In each situation the thermometers indicate different readings.
(i) What do you expect the approximate reading of the thermometer B and C would be? Give a reason for your answer.
(ii) How would the readings of A and B help you in calibrating a thermometer?

उत्तर
(i) The temperature of steam and boiling water Is equal so the reading of thermometer is the same. But due to the addition of salt boiling point of water elevates so the reading of thermometer would be slightly higher than the boiling point of water i.e 100° C.
(ii) The addition of salt boiling point of water increases so thermometer has to measure temperature for a wider range and thus it helps in the calibration of the thermometer.

How does the anomalous expansion of water help aquatic organisms in cold climates?
Calculate the time required to heat 20 kg of water from 10°C to 35°C using an immersion heater rated 1000 W. Assume that 80% of the power input is used to heat the water. Specific heat capacity of water = 42000 J kg−1 K−1.
On a winter day the temperature of the tap water is 20°C whereas the room temperature is 5°C. Water is stored in a tank of capacity 0.5 m3 for household use. If it were possible to use the heat liberated by the water to lift a 10 kg mass vertically, how high can it be lifted as the water comes to the room temperature? Take g = 10 m s−2.
At what temperature is the density of water is maximum? State its value.
