i) Write an expression for the heat energy  liberated by a hot body.

ii) Some heat is provided to a body to raise the temperature by 25o C. What will be the corresponding rise in temperature of the body as shown on the Kelvin scale?

iii) What happens to the average kinetic energy of the molecules as ice melts at 0 degree C?


i) Expression of heat energy liberated by a hot body,

space increment straight Q space equals space mc space increment straight t
where comma straight space straight m space equals space mass comma

straight c space equals space specific straight space heat straight space capacity comma

increment straight t space equals space change straight space in straight space temperature

ii right parenthesis thin space Since comma space increment straight Q space proportional to space increment straight t

Hence comma space the space corresponding space rise space in space temperature space
of space the space body space in space Kelvin space equals space 25 space straight K 

iii) Average kinetic energy of the molecules would remain same.
