Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.

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.

Explain, why does a wise farmer water his fields, if forecast is forst?


Derive an expression for finding out the specific heat capacity of a body (solid) from the readings of an experiment given below:

(i) Mass of empty calorimeter (with stirrer) = m1 gm

(ii) Mass of the metal piece = M gm

(iii) Mass of colorimeter and water = m2 gm

(iv) Initial temperature and water = t1°C

(v) Temperature of hot solid (metal piece) = t2 °C

(vi) Final temperature of the mixture = t°C

(vii) Specific heat of calorimeter = 0.4 J gm / °C

1. Specific heat capacity a. Dewar bottle
2. Calorimeter b. Lavoisier and Simon
3. Vacuum flask c. J Kg-1 K-1
4. Ice – calorimeter d. Heat capacity
