उत्तर
- The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of an object by 1°C is called the specific heat or specific heat capacity of that object.
- SI unit of specific heat capacity is J/kg °C and CGS unit is cal/g °C
- It is denoted by ‘c’ and given by formula: c = `"Q"/("m"Delta "T")`
- Specific heat is a property of a substance and is different for different substances.
- Higher the value of specific heat capacity of the substance, higher is the amount of heat energy required to raise its temperature by 1 °C.
- The specific heat capacity of object is measured using principle of heat exchange.

In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal, a 0.20 kg block of the metal at 150 °C is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent 0.025 kg) containing 150 cm3 of water at 27 °C. The final temperature is 40 °C. Compute the specific heat of the metal. If heat losses to the surroundings are not negligible, is your answer greater or smaller than the actual value for the specific heat of the metal?
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.
