उत्तर
Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of unit mass of a substance through 1°C or 1 K. Thus, 130 Jkg-1K-1 of heat energy required to raise the temperature of unit mass of lead through 1 K.

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.
