Question
Solution
Let m be the mass of liquid A.
Assuming that there is no heat loss,
Heat energy given by A = Heat energy taken by B
or, m x 0.84 x ( 40 - 32) = 100 x 2.1 x ( 32 - 20)
or, m = `(100 xx 2.1 xx 12)/(0.84 xx 8)` = 375 g

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.
