प्रश्न
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 = 150°C
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 × 4.2 × (20 - 11) = 50 × cs × (150 - 20)
3780 = 6500 cs
`c_s = 3780/6500`
`∴ c_s = 0.58` J/g °C

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 the 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 (meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two objects only), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. |

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.
