45 g of water at 50°C in a beaker is cooled when 50 g of copper at 18° C is added to it. The contents are stirred till a final constant temperature is reached. Calculate this final temperature. The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.39 J g-1K-1 and that of water is 4.2 J g-1K-1. State the assumption used.

उत्तर
Mass of water (m1) = 45 g
Temperature of water (T1) = 50°C
Mass of copper (m2) = 50 g
temperature of copper (T2) = 18°C
Final temperature (T) = ?
The specific heat capacity of the copper c2 = 0.39 J/g/K
The specific heat capacity of water c1 = 4.2 J/g/K
m1c1 (T1 - T) = m2 c2 (T - T2)
`"T" = ("m"_1"c"_1 "T"_1 + "m"_2 "c"_2"T"_2) /("m"_2 "c"_2 + "m"_1"c"_1 )`
`T = (45 xx 4.2 xx 50 + 50 xx 0. 39 xx 18)/ (45 xx 4.2 + 50 xx 0.39)`
= `9801 / 208.5`
T = 47°C

What is the specific heat capacity of boiling water?
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.
