Question

A PIECE OF METAL OF MASS 112g IS HEATED TO 100C AND DROPPED INTO A COPPER CALORIMETER OF MASS 40g CONTAINING 200g OF WATER AT 16C .NEGLECTING HEAT LOSS ,THE SPECIFIC HEAT OF THE METAL IS NEARLY, IF THE EQILIBRIUM TEMPERATURE REACHED IS 24.1C

Answer 1

Answer:

A piece of metal of mass 112g is heated to 100°C and dropped into a copper calorimeter of mass 40g containing 200g of water at 16°C. Neglecting heat loss, the specific heat of the mettal is nearly, if the equilibrium temperature reached is 24.1°C, 1) 0.294 cal/gm°C 2) 0.394cal/gm°C 3) 0.194 cal/gm°C 4) 0.494cal/gmºC
