Read this activity and answer the following questions.
- Take three spheres of iron, copper and lead. the lead of equal mass.
- Put all the three spheres in boiling water in the beaker for some time.
- Take the three spheres out of the water.
- All the spheres will be at a temperature 100 °C.
- Put them immediately on the thick slab of wax.
- Note, the depth that each of the sphere goes into the wax.
Questions:
- Which property is determined from this activity?

उत्तर
- Property which determines the amount of heat absorbed by a sphere is different for the three spheres is ascertain from this activity.
- This property is called the specific heat capacity.
- The sphere that absorbs more heat from water supplies more heat to wax causing more melting of wax and going deeper in wax obeying the principle of heat exchange which states that; In an isolated system, Heat lost by hot object = Heat gained by cold object.

In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal, a 0.20 kg block of the metal at 150 °C is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent 0.025 kg) containing 150 cm3 of water at 27 °C. The final temperature is 40 °C. Compute the specific heat of the metal. If heat losses to the surroundings are not negligible, is your answer greater or smaller than the actual value for the specific heat of the metal?

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.
