Study the following procedure and answer the questions below:
1. Take 3 spheres of iron, copper and lead of equal mass.
2. Put all the 3 spheres in boiling water in a beaker for some time.
3. Take 3 spheres out of the water. Put them immediately on a thick slab of wax.
4. Note, the depth that each sphere goes into the wax.
i) Which property of substance can be studied with this procedure?
ii) Describe that property in minimum words.
iii) Explain the rule of heat exchange with this property.

उत्तर
i. Specific heat
ii. Specific heat : The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of an object by 1oC .
iii. According to the principle of hear exchange :
Heat energy lost by the hot object = Heat energy gained by the cold
object
In this activity heat absorbed by iron sphere is transmitted more in the wax, hence sphere goes deepest in to wax, while lead sphere absorbs less heat, resulting in less transmission of heat in the wax hence sphere goes the least depth in the wax.

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.
