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?
A child running a temperature of 101°F is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to 98 °F in 20 min, what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused, by the drug? Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is 30 kg. The specific heat of human body is approximately the same as that of water, and latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about 580 cal g–1.
A copper vessel of mass 100 g contains 150 g of water at 50°C. How much ice is needed to cool it to 5°C?
Given: Specific heat capacity of copper = 0.4 Jg-1 °C-1
The Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 Jg-1 °C-1
The Specific latent heat of fusion ice = 336 Jg-1
What property of water makes it an effective coolant?
Write the approximate values of the specific latent heat of fusion of ice.
Give two reasons as to why copper is preferred over other metals for making calorimeters.
1 kg of water freezes to form ice at 0°C. What amount of heat is withdrawn?
The specific heat capacity of water is 1 cal/g °C.
Match the columns:
| Column ‘A’ | Column ‘B’ |
| The SI unit of specific heat capacity | (a) Jkg−1°C−1 |
| (b) kg/m3 | |
| (c) calorie |
Two blocks P and Q of different metals having their mass in the ratio 2 : 1 are given same amount of heat. Their temperature rises by same amount. Compare their specific heat capacities.
