उत्तर
Given: Mass (m) = 5 kg, specific heat of water (c) = 1 kcal/kg °C
Change in temperature (ΔT) = 100 − 20
= 80°C
According to the principle of heat exchange,
Energy supplied to water = Energy gained by water
= Mass of water × specific heat of water × rise in the temperature of water
Q = mc ΔT
Q = 5 × 1 × 80
= 400 kcal
The heat energy necessary to raise the temperature of the water is 400 kcal.

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.
