  • question_answer
    A mass of 50g of water in a closed vessel, with surroundings at a constant temperature takes 2 minutes to cool form \[{{30}^{0}}C\]to \[{{25}^{0}}C\]. A mass of 100g of another liquid in identical vessel with identical surroundings takes the same time to cool from \[{{30}^{0}}C\]to \[{{25}^{0}}C\]. The specific heat of the liquid is :     JEE Main Online Paper ( Held On 25  April 2013 )

    A) \[2.0\operatorname{kc}\operatorname{a}\operatorname{l}/\operatorname{kg}\]                       

    B) \[7\operatorname{kc}\operatorname{a}\operatorname{l}/\operatorname{kg}\]

    C) \[3\operatorname{kc}\operatorname{a}\operatorname{l}/\operatorname{kg}\]

    D) \[0.5\operatorname{kc}\operatorname{a}\operatorname{l}/\operatorname{kg}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    As the surrounding is identical, vessel is identical time taken to cool both water and liquid (from \[30{}^\circ C\] to \[25{}^\circ C\]) is same 2 minutes, therefore\[{{\left( \frac{dQ}{dt} \right)}_{water}}={{\left( \frac{dQ}{dt} \right)}_{liquid}}\] or,\[\frac{({{m}_{w}}{{C}_{w}}+W)\Delta T}{t}\frac{({{m}_{\ell }}{{C}_{\ell }}+W)\Delta T}{t}\] (W= water equivalent of the vessel) or, \[{{m}_{w}}{{C}_{w}}={{m}_{\ell }}{{C}_{\ell }}\] \[\therefore \]Specific heat of liquid, \[{{C}_{\ell }}=\frac{{{m}_{w}}{{C}_{w}}}{{{m}_{\ell }}}\] \[=\frac{50\times 1}{100}=0.5\,kcal/kg\]
