Solution
(i) Calorie: It is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gm of water by 1°C (more accurately the rise in temperature is taken from 14.5°C to 15.5°C).
(ii) Kilo calorie: It is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C. It is equivalent to 1000 calories.

We would like to make a vessel whose volume does not change with temperature (take a hint from the problem above). We can use brass and iron `(β_(vbrass) = (6 xx 10^(–5))/K and β_(viron) = (3.55 xx 10^(–5))/K)` to create a volume of 100 cc. How do you think you can achieve this.
