Question
The heat capacity of the vessel of mass 100 kg is 8000 J/°K. Find its specific heat capacity.

Solution
To calculate the specific heat capacity, we use the formula:
Specific Heat Capacity (c) = `"Heat Capacity"/"Mass"`
Given:
- Heat capacity (C) = 8000 J/°K
- Mass (m) = 100 kg
Substitute the values into the formula:
`c = 8000/100`
c = 80 J/kg·°K.

If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy. The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both the objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses heat energy. If the system of both the objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistant box (meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two objects only), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. |
