63.2 g of copper at 50°C can just melt 3.8g of ice. If the specific latent heat of ice is 336 J/g, find the specific heat capacity of copper.

उत्तर
Let the specific heat capacity of copper be s
∴ Heat lost by copper = 63.2 × s × (50 - 0) = 3160 s joule
Heat gained by ice = 3.8 × 336 joule
Since Heat gained = Heat lost
We have 3160s = 3.8 × 336 = 1276.8
Or s = (1276.8/3160) K/g °C = 0.404 J/g °C.
