Question

If the specific heat capacity of water is 1 cal/gmoC in cgs system of units, the total amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water through 1 K is ………

Answer 1

Answer:

1000cal = 4184joule

Explanation:

1 gm take 1cal to rise the temprature by 1 celcius.

so 1 kg will take 1000 cal to rise temp by 1 celcius.

1 celcius temp change =  1 kelvin temp change

so 1 kg will take 1000 cal to rise temp by 1 Kelvin.

1000cal = 4184joule is the answer.
