    One fourth of water
  • B
    One half of water
  • C
    Twice of water
  • D

In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal,a $0.20 \; kg$ block of the metal at $150 \; ^{\circ}C$ is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent $0.025 \; kg$) containing $150 \; cm^{3}$ of water at $27 \; ^{\circ}C$. The final temperature is $40 \; ^{\circ}C$. Compute the specific heat of the metal. If heat losses to the surroundings are not negligible,is your answer greater or smaller than the actual value for the specific heat of the metal?

$A$ beaker contains $200\,g$ of water. The heat capacity of the beaker is equal to that of $20\,g$ of water. The initial temperature of water in the beaker is $20\,^{\circ}C$. If $440\,g$ of hot water at $92\,^{\circ}C$ is poured in it,the final temperature (neglecting radiation loss) will be nearest to ........ $^{\circ}C$.

$4 \text{ g}$ of steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is added to $20 \text{ g}$ of water at $46^{\circ} C$ in a container of negligible mass. Assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings, the mass of water in the container at thermal equilibrium is. (Latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 \text{ cal/g}$, Specific heat of water $= 1 \text{ cal/g}^{\circ} C$):- (in $\text{ g}$)

Objects $A$ and $B$ that are initially separated from each other and well isolated from their surroundings are then brought into thermal contact. Initially $T_A = 0^{\circ}C$ and $T_B = 100^{\circ}C$. The specific heat of $A$ is less than the specific heat of $B$. After some time,the system comes to an equilibrium state. The final temperatures are :
