Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 416

Question: A mass of 50g of water in a closed vessel, with surroundings at a constant temperature takes 2 minutes to cool from 30C to25C . A mass of 100g of another liquid in an identical vessel with identical surroundings takes the same time to cool from 30C to 25C . The specific heat of the liquid is: (The water equivalent of the vessel is 30g.)

Options:

A) 2.0 kcal/kg

B) 7 kcal/kg

C) 3 kcal/kg

D) 0.5 kcal/kg

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] (mwCm+W)ΔTt=(mC+W)ΔTt (W=water equivalent of the vessel) or mwCw=mC

Specific heat of liquid, C=mwCwm

=50×1100=0.5kcal/kg
