Find the time taken by a 500 W heater to raise the temperature of 50 kg of material of specific heat capacity 960 J kg-1K-1, from 18°C to 38° C. Assume that all the heat energy supplied by the heater is given to the material.
Why do bottled soft drinks get cooled, more quickly by the ice cubes than by the iced water, both at 0℃?
Name three fossil fuels that emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere ?
Indian style of cooling drinking water is to keep it in a pitcher having porous walls. Water comes to the outer surface very slowly and evaporates. Most of energy needed for evaporation is taken from the water itself and the water is cooled down. Assume that a pitcher contains 10 kg of water and 0.2 g of water comes out per second. Assuming no backward heat transfer from the atmosphere to the water, calculate the time in which the temperature decrease by 5°C. Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg−1 °C−1 and latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.27 × 106 J kg−1.
650 J of heat is required to raise the temp. of 0.25 kg of lead from 15°C to 35°C. Calculate the Sp. heat capacity of lead.
Does the specific heat capacity of a substance depend upon its mass and rise in temperature only?
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
