Question
Is heat a conserved quantity?
Advertisements
Solution
Yes, heat is a conserved quantity. Suppose two bodies A and B are at different temperatures, wherein A is higher and B is lower. When they are brought in contact, the heat given by A is equal to the heat gained by B. Thus, the heat is conserved in the system.
Here, we have ignored the heat exchanged with the surroundings. If we consider the surroundings, the heat of the system will be conserved.

An earthen pitcher loses 1 gm of water per minute due to evaporation. If the water equivalent of the pitcher is 0.5 kg and the pitcher contains 9.5 kg of water, calculate the time required for the water in a pitcher to cool to 28°C from the original temperature of 30°C. Neglect radiation effects. The latent heat of vaporization in this range of temperature is 580 Cal/gm and the specific heat of water is 1 Cal/gm°C.
