Melting ice cools an orange drink far better than the same mass of ice-cold water because

A.

melting ice is lower temperature than ice-cold water

B.

water has a higher specific heat than ice

C.

ice floats and cools the air above the drink

A tap supplies water at 26°C while another supplies water at 82°C. If a man wishes to bathe with water at 40°C, the ratio of hot water to that of cold water required is

A.

1:3

B.

3:1

C.

3:7

D.

7:3

E.

15:8

Correct answer is A

heat supplied by hot water = heat gained by cold water M1C(82 - 40) = M2C(40 - 26)

\(\frac{M_2}{M_1}\)= \(\frac{14}{42}\)

= 1: 3

B.

prevents the steam from escaping

C.

ensures that only dry steam gets into the calorimeter

D.

allows condensed steam to go into the calorimeter
