(i) Which of the two is a good conductor of heat?
(ii) How is one led to the above conclusion?
(iii) If substances A and B are liquids then which one would be more useful in car radiators?

उत्तर
(i) Substance B is a good conductor out of the two substances.
(ii) The specific heat capacity of B is lower than A. This means that less heat is required to raise the temperature of 1 g of B by 1 K than the heat required for A.
(iii) If both substances were liquids, then substance A will be more useful in radiators. This is because A will extract more heat without much change in its temperature as it has high specific heat capacity.

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.
