    50 gm of copper is heated to increase its temperature by 10°C. If the same quantity of heat is given to 10 gm of water, the rise in its temperature is (Specific heat of copper = 420 Joule-kg?1 °C?1) [EAMCET (Med.) 2000]

    A)            5°C

    B)            6°C

    C)            7°C

    D)             8°C

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       Same amount of heat is supplied to copper and water so \[{{m}_{c}}{{c}_{c}}\Delta {{\theta }_{c}}={{m}_{W}}{{c}_{W}}\Delta {{\theta }_{\,W}}\]                    Þ \[\Delta {{\theta }_{W}}=\frac{{{m}_{c}}{{c}_{c}}{{(\Delta \theta )}_{c}}}{{{m}_{W}}{{c}_{W}}}=\frac{50\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 420\times 10}{10\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 4200}=5{}^\circ C\]
