प्रश्न
Discuss how high specific heat capacity of water helps in formation of land and sea breeze.

उत्तर
Specific heat capacity of land is 5 times less as compared to water. Thus, air above land becomes hot and light and rises up resulting in drop in pressure of land mass during day time. Thus, cool air from sea starts blowing towards and forming sea breeze.
During night, land as well as sea radiates heat energy. However, temperature of land falls faster than sea water, because of high specific heat capacity of sea water. So, at night the temperature of sea water is more than land. Warm air above the sea rises and cold air from land starts blowing towards sea resulting in land breeze.

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.
104g of water at 30°C is taken in a calorimeter made of copper of mass 42 g. When a certain mass of ice at 0°C is added to it, the final steady temperature of the mixture after the ice has melted, was found to be 10°C. Find the mass of ice added. [Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 Jg–1°C–1 ; Specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336 Jg–1; Specific heat capacity of copper = 0.4 Jg–1°C–1] .
