Q. Imagine a huge ice cube of 1 km length. We want to freeze a water drop with this huge block. You will be surprised to know that this huge block of ice is incapable of even freezing a drop of water kept in it. Explain why the huge ice block is unable to freeze the water drop.

"For ice, the latent heat of fusion is 334 kJkg^-1. This means that 334 kJ of heat is required to convert 1 kg of ice at 0ºC into 1 kg of water at 0ºC. Conversely, 334 kJ of heat is released when 1 kg of water freezes at 0ºC to give 1 kg of ice at 0ºC." So in this case 0^oC is the atmospheric temp.?

Q. A bottle filled with water cracks on freezing because the density of ice is less than water.

Particles of solids are closely packed together but the particles of water are a little far than eachother. So when the water freezes it becomes ice which is solid, but what happened to the particles o water. do they come close to eachother. if so then why does the level of ice not reduce?

Q. Ice in a freezer is at

- 7^{\circ} C . 100 g

of this ice is mixed with

200 g

of water at

15^{\circ} C

. Take the freezing temperature of water to be

0^{\circ} C

, the specific heat of ice equal to

2.2 J / g^{\circ} C

, specific heat of water equal to

4.2 J / g^{\circ} C

, and the latent heat of ice equal to

335 J / g

. Assuming no loss of heat to the environment, the mass of ice in the final mixture is closest to
