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?
Water is used in hot water bottles for fomentation. Give a reason.
Equal heat is given to two objects A and B of mass 1 g. Temperature of A increases by 3°C and B by 5°C. Which object has more specific heat? And by what factor?
A calorimeter has mass 100 g and specific heat 0.1 kcal/ kg°C. It contains 250 gm of liquid at 30°C having specific heat of 0.4 kcal/kg°C. If we drop a piece of ice of mass 10 g at 0°C, What will be the temperature of the mixture?
Give one example where high specific heat capacity of water is used as cooling.
m kg of a substance of specific heat capacity s J/kg °C is heated so that its temperature rises from θ1°C to θ2°C. Write down the expression for the heat Q supplied.
Will the value of specific heat’capacity and specific latent heat of a substance change if the scale is °F instead of °C?
63.2 g of copper at 50°C can just melt 3.8g of ice. If the specific latent heat of ice is 336 J/g, find the specific heat capacity of copper.
