is 2100 J Kg-1oC-1
4. A heater which is labelled ‘230 V, 500 W’ is used to heat 1 kg of 7. A substance X of mass 200 g is heated by a heater supplying
ice from 0oC to 100 oC. If the time taken is 25 minutes and 20 25W of power. Its temperature is recorded at regular intervals and
seconds, determine the specific latent heat of fusion of ice. its result is shown in the temperature-time graph in diagram 1.

5. Using an immersion heater labelled 230 V, 2 kW, what is the time

taken to change 2 kg of boiling water to steam?
Determine:
a. The specific heat capacity of substance X,
b. The specific latent heat of fusion of solid X.

6. A copper block of mass 40 g is being heater to 100 oC and it is

placed in a big ice block. It is found that only 5.0 g of ice has
melted. What is the specific heat capacity of copper?
 Part 4: Understanding Gas Laws
1. The air trapped in an airtight cylinder has a volume of 100 cm3
and a pressure of 1.5 x 105 Pa. If the volume of air is compressed
slowly to 60 cm3 without any change in temperature, what is the
pressure of the gas in the cylinder?
2. An air bubble is moving up from the base of a lake. At that
instant, the volume of the air bubble is 5 cm3 and its distance from
the surface of water is 5 m. Calculate the volume of air bubble
when it reaches the surface of water.
[Atmospheric pressure = 10 m H2O]
3. A balloon is filled with air under atmospheric pressure. The
balloon is dipped into water until the volume of the balloon drops
to 1/3 of its original volume. What is the vertical distance of the
balloon from the surface of water?
[Atmospheric pressure = 10 m H2O]
4. An empty container which has a volume of 500 cm3, is immersed
in a water tank. If the air trapped in the container becomes 250
cm3 as shown in diagram, determine the value of h.
[Atmospheric pressure = 10 m H2O]
5. At a temperature of 77 oC, the pressure of a fixed mass of gas at a 7. A gas sample with volume 80 cm3 is heated under constant
fixed volume is measured as 90 cm Hg. If the gas is cooled to pressure until its temperature becomes 65oC. Calculate the
0oC, what is the pressure of the gas in cm Hg? volume of gas at higher temperature.

6. A fixed mass of gas at room temperature of 20oC has a pressure of 8. A gas which is trapped inside a steel container has a pressure of
8000 Pa. The gas is then heated quickly in a container which has a 200 kPa at 17oC. The steel container is heated until θoC. If the
constant volume. If the new pressure of the gas is 18400 Pa, what volume of the trapped air in the container becomes 300 kPa, what
is the new temperature of this gas? is the value of θ?
