Steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is passed into $1 \, kg$ of water contained in a calorimeter at $9^{\circ} C$ until the temperature of the water and calorimeter increases to $90^{\circ} C$. The mass of the steam condensed is nearly (water equivalent of calorimeter $= 0.1 \, kg$, specific heat of water $= 1 \, cal \cdot g^{-1} \cdot {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$, and latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 \, cal \cdot g^{-1}$).

Steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is passed into $1 \ kg$ of water contained in a calorimeter of water equivalent $0.2 \ kg$ at $9^{\circ} C$ until the temperature of the calorimeter and water in it increases to $90^{\circ} C$. The mass of steam condensed in $kg$ is nearly (specific heat of water $= 1 \ cal/g^{\circ} C$,latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 \ cal/g$)

$A$ 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 $= 4200 \ J / kg \cdot ^{\circ} C$]

Two identical bodies are made of a material for which the heat capacity increases with temperature. One of these is held at a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$,while the other one is kept at $0^{\circ} C$. If the two are brought into contact,then assuming no heat loss to the environment,the final temperature that they will reach is

$A$ copper ball of mass $100 \ gm$ is at a temperature $T$. It is dropped into a copper calorimeter of mass $100 \ gm$,filled with $170 \ gm$ of water at room temperature. Subsequently,the temperature of the system is found to be $75 ^\circ C$. $T$ is given by......$^\circ C$ (Given: room temperature $= 30 ^\circ C$,specific heat of copper $= 0.1 \ cal/gm ^\circ C$)

$A$ 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 $kJ \; kg^{-1} K^{-1}$.
