A hot liquid contained in a container of negligible heat capacity loses temperature at rate 3K/min just before it begins to solidify. The temperature remains constant for 30 min. If the ratio of specific heat capacity of liquid to specific latent heat of fusion is x/90K−1. Find x. (given that the rate of losing heat is constant).

The heat gain or heat loss for a change of temperature of ΔT of the substance is given as Q=mcΔT. Here, m is the mass of the substance and c is... View Article

A soft silver metal (A) burns with a golden yellow flame to give a yellow powder (B) which on treatment with water liberates oxygen giving a clear solution (C). The solution placed on Al attacks this metal liberating a gas (D) and forming a water soluble compound (E). The metal (A) dissolves in liq. NH3 to form a deep blue solution which is a good conductor and an excellent reducing agent. Identify C.

Sodium is a soft silver metal (A) that burns with a golden yellow flame to produce a yellow powder. Sodium also burns in air to produce a yellow... View Article
