In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal, a \(0.20~\text{kg}\) block of the metal at \(150^{\circ}\text{C}\) is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent of \(0.025~\text{kg}\)) containing \(150~\text{cm}^{3}\) of water at \(27^{\circ}\text{C}.\) The final temperature is \(40^{\circ}\text{C}.\) The specific heat of the metal will be: 
(the heat losses to the surroundings are negligible)
1. \(0 . 40  ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
2. \(0 . 43  ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
3. \(0 . 54 ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
4. \(0 . 61 ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)

In a steel factory, it is found that to maintain \(M\) kg of iron in the molten state at its melting point, an input power \(P\) watt is required. When the power source is turned off, the sample completely solidifies in time \(t\) seconds. The latent heat of the fusion of iron is:

1. \(\dfrac{2Pt}{M}\) 2. \(\dfrac{Pt}{2M}\)
3. \(\dfrac{Pt}{M}\) 4. \(\dfrac{PM}{t}\)

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): In a pressure cooker the water is brought to a boil. The cooker is then removed from the stove. Now on removing the lid of the pressure cooker, the water starts boiling again.
Reason (R): The impurities in water bring down its boiling point.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

A beaker contains \(1000\) g of a liquid that is stirred at its boiling point. A \(100\) W electric heater is completely immersed in the liquid. The heater provides the liquid with thermal energy, and \(200\) g of the liquid changes to vapour in \(1600\) s.
What is the specific latent heat of evaporation of the liquid?
(Assume that no thermal energy is transferred to or from the surroundings, and no vapour condenses.)
1. \(12.5\) J/g
2. \(160\) J/g
3. \(3200\) J/g
