    A 1.0 g sample of substance A at \[{{100}^{o}}C\] is added to 100 mL of \[{{H}_{2}}O\] at \[{{25}^{o}}C\]. Using separate 100 mL portions of \[{{H}_{2}}O\], the procedure is repeated with substance B and then with substance C. How will the final temperatures of the water compare?
    Substance Specific heat
    A \[0.60\,\,J{{g}^{-1}}\,{{\,}^{o}}{{C}^{-1}}\]
    B \[0.40\,\,J{{g}^{-1}}\,{{\,}^{o}}{{C}^{-1}}\]
    C \[0.20\,\,J{{g}^{-1}}\,{{\,}^{o}}{{C}^{-1}}\]

    A)  \[{{T}_{C}}>{{T}_{B}}>{{T}_{A}}\]    

    B)  \[{{T}_{B}}>{{T}_{A}}>{{T}_{C}}\]

    C)  \[{{T}_{A}}>{{T}_{B}}>{{T}_{C}}\]

    D)  \[{{T}_{A}}={{T}_{B}}={{T}_{C}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Specific heat, \[c=\frac{Q}{m\,.\,\,\Delta \,T}\] \[=\frac{Q}{m\,({{T}_{2}}-{{T}_{1}})}\] Except specific heat and final temperature, all other conditions are same in case of substances A, B and C. Thus, final temperature depends only upon specific heat. Since, the order of specific heats of substances \[\underset{\left( 0.60 \right)}{\mathop{A}}\,\,\,\,\,>\,\,\,\,\underset{\left( 0.40 \right)}{\mathop{B}}\,\,\,\,\,>\,\,\,\,\underset{\left( 0.20 \right)}{\mathop{C}}\,\] \[\therefore \] The order of the final temperature is \[{{T}_{C}}>{{T}_{B}}>{{T}_{A}}\]
