प्रश्न
Name the material of which it is made of. Give two reasons for using the material stated by you.
उत्तर
It is made up of a thin copper sheet because:
- Copper is a good conductor of heat, so the vessel soon acquires the temperature of its contents.
- Copper has a low specific heat capacity, so the heat capacity of the calorimeter is low and the amount of heat energy taken by the calorimeter from its contents to acquire the temperature of its contents is negligible.

Fill in the following blank using suitable word:
Whenever mechanical work is done, .......... Is produced.
A copper calorimeter of mass 50g contains 100g of water at 20°C. A metallic piece of mass 250 g is heated to 100°C and is then dropped into the calorimeter. The contents of the calorimeter are well stirred and its final highest temperature is recorded to be 28 °C. If the specific heat capacity of water is 4.2 J/g°C and of copper is 0.4 J/g°C, find:
(i) the heat gained by water,
(ii) the heat gained by calorimeter,
(iii) total heat supplied by the metal piece, and
(iv) the specific heat capacity of metal.
