When two objects P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that in Q. lf the masses of P and Q are the same, calculate the ratio of the specific heat capacities of Q to P.

How much heat is required to convert 20 g of ice at 0oC to water at the same temperature? (Specific latent heat of ice = 336 J g-1)

An iron rod of mass 2kg and at a temperature of 280^oC is dropped into some quantity of water initially at a temperature of 30^oC. lf the temperature of the mixture is 70^oC, calculate the mass of the water. (Neglect heat losses to the surroundings). Specific heat capacity of iron = 460 J kgK) (Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 Jkg K)

The temperature of glass vessel containing 100cm3 of mercury is raised from 10^oC to 100^oC. Calculate the apparent cubic expansion of the mercury. (Real cubic expansivity of mercury = 1.82 x 10^-4K^-1) (Cubic expansivity of glass = 2.4 x 10^-5K^-1)

The pressure of a given mass of gas changes from 200 Nm² to 100 N m², while its temperature drops from 127^oC to - 73^oC. Calculate the radio of the final volume of the gas to its initial volume.
