650 J of heat is required to raise the temp. of 0.25 kg of lead from 15°C to 35°C. Calculate the Sp. heat capacity of lead.

उत्तर
Q = 650 J
m = 0.25 kg
ΔT = (35 - 15) = 20°C
Q = m x C x T
C = `"Q"/("m" xx Δ"T") = 650/(0.25 xx 20) = 130` J/kg°C

Given below are observations on molar specific heats at room temperature of some common gases.
| Gas |
Molar specific heat (Cv) (cal mol–1 K–1) |
| Hydrogen | 4.87 |
| Nitrogen | 4.97 |
| Oxygen | 5.02 |
| Nitric oxide | 4.99 |
| Carbon monoxide | 5.01 |
| Chlorine | 6.17 |
The measured molar specific heats of these gases are markedly different from those for monatomic gases. Typically, molar specific heat of a monatomic gas is 2.92 cal/mol K. Explain this difference. What can you infer from the somewhat larger (than the rest) value for chlorine?
What do you understand by the following statements:
The specific heat capacity of lead is 130 Jkg-1K-1.
In an experiment to determine the specific heat capacity of a solid following operations were
made:
Mass of calorimeter + stirrer = x kg
Mass of water = y kg

heat capacity c of the solid in terms of the above data.

Read the passage and answer the questions based on it.
If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy. The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses heat energy. If the system of both the objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat-resistant box then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. In this situation, we get the following principle.
Heat energy lost by the hot object = Heat energy gained by the cold object. This is called the ‘Principle of heat exchange’.
