Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 450

Question: An experiment takes 10 minutes to raise the temperature of water in a container from 0C to 100C and another 55 minutes to convert it totally into steam by a heater supplying heat at a uniform rate. Neglecting the specific heat of the container and taking specific heat of water to be1cal/gC , the heat of vapourisation according to this experiment will come out to be :

Options:

A) 560 cal/g

B) 550 cal/g

C) 540 cal/g

D) 530 cal/g

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] As Pt=mCΔT So, P×10×60=mC100 …(i) and P×55×60=mL …(ii) Dividing equation (i) by (ii) we get (θθ0)

L=550cal./g.
