Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 533
Question: DIRECTION: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follows:
A brass ball of mass 100g is heated to
Options:
A) 810 cal
B) 610 cal
C) 710 cal
D) 510 cal
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Let c be the specific heat of turpentine
Mass of the solid, M = 100g
Mass of turpentine m = 200g
Water equivalent of calorimeter, W = 4g
Initial temperature of calorimeter,
Temperature of ball,
Final temperature of the liquid, T =
Specific heat of solid,
Heat gained by turpentine and calorimeter is
Heat lost by the ball is
According to the principle of calorimetry
Heat gained = Heat lost
