Question:
A calorimeter of water equivalent 100 grams contains 200 grams of water at 10°C. A solid of mass 500 grams at 45° C is added to the calorimeter. If equilibrium temperature is 25°C, then the specific heat of the solid is
Answer:
The specific heat of the solid is 0.45 cal/g-°C
Explanation:
>> A calorimeter of water equivalent 100 grams contains 200 grams of water at 10°C.
The total mass of water equivalent and water,
m = 100 g + 200 g = 300 g
>> The equilibrium temperature is 25°C
The change in temperature,
∆T = 25°C - 10°C = 15°C
>> The specific heat of water, s = 1 cal/g-°C
We know, Q = ms∆T
The heat gained by water
= 300 g × 1 cal/g-°C × 15°C
= 4500 cal

SOLID :
Let the specific heat of the solid be S cal/g-°C
>> The mass of solid, M = 500 g
>> The equilibrium temperature is 25°C
So, the change in temperature,
∆Tₛ = 45°C - 25°C = 20°C
The heat lost by solid = MS∆Tₛ
= 500 g × S cal/g-°C × 20°C
= 10000S cal
Heat gained by water = Heat lost by solid
4500 = 10000S
S = 4500/10000
S = 0.45 cal/g-°C
Therefore, the specific heat of the solid is 0.45 cal/g-°C
