Statement 1: When a solid melts of a liquid boils, the temperature does not increase when heat is supplied.
Statement 2: The heat supplied is used to increase internal kinetic energy.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false
Option B is correct because during a phase change, the heat supplied is used to overcome intermolecular forces, not to increase kinetic energy (and thus temperature).

A metal piece is heated upto T0{T^0} abs. The temperature of the surrounding is t0{t^0} abs. The heat in the surrounding due to radiation is proportional to
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
T4−T4{T^4} - {T^4}
Option B (T4−T4{T^4} - {T^4}) is correct because Stefan's law states that heat radiation is proportional to the difference of the fourth power of the temperatures.

Assertion: A fluid in vacuum expands such that it changes to gaseous state. Its temperature decreases.
Reason: It uses its internal energy as heat of vaporization.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option A is correct because the fluid expands into a gaseous state in a vacuum, using its internal energy for vaporization, which results in a temperature decrease.

(A): Water is used as a coolant in automobile radiators as well as a heater in hot water bags.
(R): Water has high specific heat capacity.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Option A (If both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)) is correct because water's high specific heat capacity allows it to absorb or release a large amount of heat with a small temperature change, making it suitable for both cooling and heating applications.

Statement-1: At a steelworks, molten iron is heated to 1500∘C1500^{\circ} \mathrm{C} to remove impurities. It is accurate to say that molten iron contains more heat than solid iron.
Statement-2: Solid iron at melting point needs to be supplied heat corresponding to its latent heat of fusion for phase change.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true
Statement-1 is false because heat is related to the energy transfer, not the amount of energy contained. Statement-2 is true as latent heat is required for phase change.

Assertion: According to Newton's law of cooling, the rate of loss of heat, −dQdt-\frac{d Q}{d t} of the body is directly proportional to the difference of temperature.
Reason: This law holds for all type of temperature differences.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If assertion is true but reason is false
Option C (If assertion is true but reason is false) is correct. Newton's law of cooling is only valid for small temperature differences between the object and its surroundings.
