        A body of specific heat\[0.2\text{ }kcal/kg{}^\circ C\]is heated through\[100{}^\circ C\].The percentage increase in its mass is

    A)  9%                                        

    B) \[9.3\times {{10}^{-11}}%\]

    C)  10%                                      

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Heat taken by the given body \[=mc\,\Delta \theta \] [Specific heat of body\[=0.2\text{ }kcal/kg{}^\circ C,\]final temperature of the body\[=100{}^\circ C\]] \[\Delta E=m\times 0.2\times 100=20\text{ }m\text{ }kcal\] \[=20m\times 4.2\times {{10}^{3}}J\] Now, gain in mass is given by                 \[\Delta m=\frac{\Delta E}{{{c}^{2}}}\]                   \[(\because E=m{{c}^{2}})\]                 \[=\frac{20m\times 4.2\times {{10}^{3}}}{{{(3\times {{10}^{8}})}^{2}}}\] Therefore, percentage increase in mass is given by                 \[=\frac{\Delta m}{m}\times 100=\frac{20m\times 4.2\times {{10}^{3}}}{{{(3\times {{10}^{8}})}^{2}}\times m}\times 100\] \[=9.3\times {{10}^{-11}}%\]
