Question

2. The heat capacity of the vessel of mass
100 kg is 8000 J/°C. Find its specific heat
capacity​

Answer 1

answer : 80 J/°C/Kg

explanation : first of all, understand the meaning of specific heat capacity.

obviously, you know the formula

Q = ms∆T

where Q is heat , m is mass , ∆T is change in temperature. here what is s ?

of course, it is specific heat capacity.

so, you can defined it.

specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of a material by 1°C.

here given, heat capacity of the vessel of mass 100kg is 8000 J/°C

so, specific heat capacity of vessel = heat capacity/mass

= 8000/100 = 80 J/°C/Kg

Answer 2

$\bf{\underline{\underline{Answer:}}}$

∴ 80 J/kg/℃

$\bf{\underline{Given:}}$

Mass of the vessel = 100 kg

Heat capacity = 8000 J/℃

$\bf{\underline{\underline{Step\: by\: step\: explanation:}}}$

We know, that the

Heat Capacity:

It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1-degree celsius. Heat capacity is expressed in terms of Joules/℃ or Calorie/℃.

Specific heat capacity:

It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1-degree Celsius. Specific heat capacity is expressed in terms of Joules/kg/℃ or Calorie/kg/℃.

Thus,

The specific heat capacity of the vessel will be,

= [8000 J/℃] / [100 kg]

= 80 J/kg/℃
