उत्तर
We know that heat Q warms 1 g of material X by 3°C. Therefore, substituting these values in a specific heat formula, we get:
Q = 1 × Cx × 3 ...(1)
Similarly, heat Q warms 1 g of material Y by 4°C, therefore
Q = 1 × Cx × 4 ...(2)
As the same heat Q is provided to both materials, the left-hand side of equations (1) and (2) are the same. Hence, on comparing the right-hand sides, we get,
3Cx = 4Cy
Cx = `4/3`Cy and
Cy = `3/4`Cx
Hence, material X has greater specific heat than material Y. It is because its temperature rises less than Y for the mass amount of heat.

A child running a temperature of 101°F is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to 98 °F in 20 min, what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused, by the drug? Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is 30 kg. The specific heat of human body is approximately the same as that of water, and latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about 580 cal g–1.
