A solid of mass 50 g at 150 °C is placed in 100 g of water at 11 °C when the final temperature recorded is 20 °C. Find the specific heat capacity of the solid. (specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g °C)

उत्तर
Mass of the solid, ms = 50 g
Initial temperature of the solid, ts = 150C
Mass of water, mw = 100 g
Temperature of water, tw = 11°C
Final temperature of the mixture, t = 20°C
According to the principle of calorimetry
Heat gained by water = Heat lost by the solid
`:.m_wc_w(t - t_w) = m_sc_s(t_s - t)`
∴ 100 x 4.2 x (20 - 10) = 50 x cs x (150 - 20)
3780 = 6500cs
`:. c_s = 3780/6500 = 0.581` J/g °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 |
