2. Figure show a joulemeter used for measuring the electrical energy to melt some ice in an experiment. To find the specific latent heat of fusion of ice, what must be measured?

A. More heat energy can be supplied to the pressure cooker B. Heat loss from the pressure cooker can be reduced. C. Boiling point of water in the pressure cooker is raised D. Food absorbs more heat energy from the high pressure steam

4. Which of the following is not a characteristics of water that makes it widely used as a cooling agent? A. Water is readily available B. Water does not react with many other substance C. Water has a large specific heat capacity D. Water has a large density

A. The time taken for the ice to melt B. The voltage of the electricity supply C. The mass of water produced by melting ice D. The temperature change of the ice.

5. Figure below shows the experiment set up to determine the specific latent heat of fusion of ice. A control of the experiment is set up as shown in Figure (a) with the aim of

A. determining the rate of melting of ice B. ensuring that the ice does not melt too fast. C. determining the average value of the specific latent heat of fusion of ice. D. determining the mass of ice that melts as a result of heat from the surroundings 6. Scalding of the skin by boiling water is less serious then by steam. This is because A. the boiling point of water is less than the temperature of steam B. the heat of boiling water is quickly lost to the surroundings C. steam has a high specific latent heat. D. Steam has a high specific heat capacity.
