  • A
    $3 : 2$
  • B
    $2 : 3$

$A$ piece of copper of mass $250 \ g$ at $500^{\circ} C$ is put inside a calorimeter of water equivalent $50 \ g$ containing $200 \ g$ of water at $20^{\circ} C$. At thermal equilibrium,the temperature of the mixture is $60^{\circ} C$. The specific heat of copper (in $J / kg \cdot ^{\circ} C$) is approximately: [Specific heat of water $= 4200 \ J / kg \cdot ^{\circ} C$]

$A$ tap supplies water at $10\,^{\circ}C$ and another tap at $100\,^{\circ}C$. How many $kg$ of hot water must be taken so that we get $20\, kg$ of water at $35\,^{\circ}C$?

Three bodies of the same material and having masses $m, m$ and $3m$ are at temperatures $40^{\circ} C, 50^{\circ} C$ and $60^{\circ} C$ respectively. If the bodies are brought in thermal contact,the final temperature will be (in $^{\circ} C$)

$A$ piece of metal of mass $5 \ kg$ and temperature $-50 \ ^\circ C$ is dropped in $20 \ kg$ water at $52 \ ^\circ C$ temperature. In thermal equilibrium,the temperature of water decreases by $2 \ ^\circ C$. Find the specific heat of the metal in $Cal/g \ ^\circ C$.

$A$ sphere of $0.047 \; kg$ aluminium is placed for a sufficient time in a vessel containing boiling water,so that the sphere is at $100 \; ^{\circ}C$. It is then immediately transferred to a $0.14 \; kg$ copper calorimeter containing $0.25 \; kg$ water at $20 \; ^{\circ}C$. The temperature of the water rises and attains a steady state at $23 \; ^{\circ}C$. Calculate the specific heat capacity of aluminium in $kJ \; kg^{-1} K^{-1}$.
