During the process of conversion of ice into the water, the specific heat capacity is given by _______

During the process of conversion of ice into the water, the specific heat capacity is given by _______ Correct Answer infinity

During the phase change of a substance the temperature change is zero. As we know that specific heat capacity = Q/cΔT which is zero; specific heat capacity becomes infinity, so during the process of conversion of ice into the water, the specific heat capacity is infinity.

Calculate the amount of heat required to convert 200g of water, which is at the temperature of 50°C to steam at 110°C at normal pressure. Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg-K, latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.25 × 106 J/kg, Specific heat capacity of steam = 2000 J/kg-K.
A pipe, working at full speed, can fill an empty cistern in 1 hour. However, during the first hour it worked at one-twenty-fourth of its capacity, during the second hour at one-twelfth of its capacity, during the third hour at one-eighth of its usual capacity, during the fourth hours at one-fourth of its usual capacity and during the fifth hour it was only one-half as efficient as it was supposed to be. A second pipe also displayed similar performance, but if it worked at full speed would have filled the empty cistern in 2 hours. Together with a drain pipe that drained water out of the tank a constant rate, the empty cistern could be filled in 5 hours, all the three pipe working concurrently. How many hours will it take the drain pipe to empty the filled cistern if no other pipe was functioning during the time?
Consider the following statements in respect of ground water aquifers: 1. Specific storage is specific capacity per unit depth of the aquifer. 2.
