$200 \, g$ of a solid ball at $20 \, ^\circ C$ is dropped in an equal amount of water at $80 \, ^\circ C$. The resulting temperature is $60 \, ^\circ C$. This means that the specific heat of the solid is

  • A
    One fourth of water
  • B
    One half of water
  • C
    Twice of water
  • D
    Four times of water

$300 \text{ g}$ of water at $25^{\circ}C$ is added to $100 \text{ g}$ of ice at $0^{\circ}C$. The final temperature of the mixture is (in $^{\circ}C$)

$A$ $10 \ W$ electric heater is used to heat a container filled with $0.5 \ kg$ of water. It is found that the temperature of the water and the container rises by $3 \ K$ in $15 \ min$. The container is then emptied,dried,and filled with $2 \ kg$ of oil. The same heater now raises the temperature of the container-oil system by $2 \ K$ in $20 \ min$. Assuming that there is no heat loss in the process and the specific heat of water is $4200 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$,the specific heat of oil in the same unit is equal to:

$19 \ g$ of water at $30^{\circ} C$ and $5 \ g$ of ice at $-20^{\circ} C$ are mixed together in a calorimeter. What is the final temperature of the mixture (in $^{\circ} C$)? Given specific heat of ice $= 0.5 \ cal \ g^{-1} (^{\circ} C)^{-1}$ and latent heat of fusion of ice $= 80 \ cal \ g^{-1}$.

The specific heat of alcohol is about half that of water. Suppose you have identical masses of alcohol and water. The alcohol is initially at temperature $T_A$. The water is initially at a different temperature $T_W$. Now the two fluids are mixed in the same container and allowed to come into thermal equilibrium,with no loss of heat to the surroundings. The final temperature of the mixture will be :-

$2\, kg$ of ice at $-20^{\circ}C$ is mixed with $5\, kg$ of water at $20^{\circ}C$ in an insulating vessel having a negligible heat capacity. Calculate the final mass of water remaining in the container. It is given that the specific heats of water and ice are $1\, kcal/kg/^{\circ}C$ and $0.5\, kcal/kg/^{\circ}C$ respectively,while the latent heat of fusion of ice is $80\, kcal/kg$.
