Two metallic blocks P and Q of masses in ratio 2: 1 are given the same amount of heat. If their temperature rise by the same amount, compare their specific heat capacities.
How much heat energy is released when 5.0 g of water at 20℃ changes into ice at 0℃? Take specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J g-1 K-1, Specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336 J g-1.
State the impact of global warming on life on the earth.
Indian style of cooling drinking water is to keep it in a pitcher having porous walls. Water comes to the outer surface very slowly and evaporates. Most of energy needed for evaporation is taken from the water itself and the water is cooled down. Assume that a pitcher contains 10 kg of water and 0.2 g of water comes out per second. Assuming no backward heat transfer from the atmosphere to the water, calculate the time in which the temperature decrease by 5°C. Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg−1 °C−1 and latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.27 × 106 J kg−1.
The farmers fill their fields with water in winter. Give reason.
The temperature of a lead piece of mass 400 g rises from 20°C to 50°C when 1560 J of heat is supplied to it. Calculate Specific heat capacity of lead.
From the options given below the specific heat of _______ is maximum.
The specific heat capacity of water is 1 cal/g °C.
The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume are denoted by Cp and Cv, respectively. If `gamma = "C"_"p"/"C"_"v"` and R is the universal gas constant, then Cv is equal to ______.
