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 solid of mass 80 g at 80°C is dropped in 400 g water at 10°C. If final temp. is 30°C, find the sp. heat cap. of the solid.
Write the approximate values of the specific latent heat of fusion of ice.
A certain amount of heat Q will warm 1 g of material X by 3°C and 1 g of material Y by 4°C. Which material has a higher specific heat capacity?
Discuss how high specific heat capacity of water helps in formation of land and sea breeze.
Answer the following question.
Why do we generally consider two specific heats of a gas?
From the options given below the specific heat of _______ is maximum.
Specific heat capacity C = ______.
A geyser heats water flowing at a rate of 2.0 kg per minute from 30°C to 70°C. If the geyser operates on a gas burner, the rate of combustion of fuel will be ______ g min-1.
[Heat of combustion = 8 × 103 Jg-1 Specific heat of water = 4.2 Jg-1°C-1]
