Heat required to convert 1 g of ice at 0°C to water at 0°C is (latent heat 80 cal/g) MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Heat required to convert 1 g of ice at 0°C to water at 0°C is (latent heat 80 cal/g)
A. 1 cal
B. 540 cal
C. 100 cal
D. 80 cal
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Latent heat of fusion of ice = 80 cal/g. So 1 g needs 80 cal. No temperature change.

Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1.013×10⁵ Pa. Equivalent height of mercury column (density 13600 kg/m³, g=9.8) is
A. 0.76 cm
B. 7.6 m
C. 13.6 m
D. 0.76 m

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
P = ρgh => h = P/(ρg) = 1.013×10⁵/(13600×9.8) ≈ 0.76 m = 76 cm.

The internal energy of an ideal gas depends only on:
A. Both pressure and volume
B. Volume
C. Temperature
D. Pressure

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
For an ideal gas, internal energy U depends solely on temperature (U = f/2 nRT, where f is degrees of freedom). This follows from kinetic theory: no intermolecular forces, so energy is purely kinetic, proportional to T. Pressure and volume can change at constant T (isothermal process) without changing U. Memory tip: 'Ideal gas: U = U(T) only; real gases have volume dependence'. This thermodynamics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish ideal vs real gas behavior; competitive exams typically assume ideal gas unless specified.

Which of the following materials is used as a fuse wire?
A. Tin-lead alloy
B. Copper
C. Aluminium
D. Silver

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Fuse wire made of alloy of tin and lead (or copper with low melting point). It has low melting point and high resistance. Copper has high melting point, not suitable for fuse. Silver expensive. Aluminium not typical.
