A student heats a beaker containing ice and water. He measures the temperature of the content of the beaker as a function of time. Which of the following (Fig. 1.1) would correctly represent the result? Justify your choice.
"
Correct Answer: (d)
Explanation: Since ice and water are in equilibrium, the temperature would be zero. When we heat the mixture, energy supplied is utilized in melting the ice and the temperature does not change till all the ice melts because of the latent heat of fusion. On further heating, the temperature of the water would increase.

- A student sets up an apparatus to determine the melting point of ice. He takes a beaker half filled with crushed ice and dips a mercury thermometer with an initial reading of room temperature (25ºC) in such a way that the bulb of the thermometer is surrounded by ice. The correct observation obtained by the student is that :Mercury in the thermometer keeps on falling till it reads, −1ºC and becomes constant thereaftertemperature falls, reaches 0ºC, then it remains constant even after the whole of the ice has meltedthe temperature falls in the beginning but starts rising as soon as the ice starts meltingtemperature falls, reaches 0ºC and remains constant only as long as both ice and water are present in it
