  • question_answer
    A scientist proposes a new temperature scale in which the ice point is 25 X (X is the new unit of temperature) and the steam point is 305 X. The specific heat capacity of water in this new scale is \[(in\,J\,k{{g}^{-1}}\,{{X}^{-1}})\]

    A) \[4.2\,\,\times {{10}^{3}}\]

    B) \[3.0\,\,\times {{10}^{3}}\]

    C)  \[1.2\,\,\times \,\,{{10}^{3}}\]

    D)  \[1.5\,\,\times \,{{10}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Given, \[305\,X-25X=100{{\,}^{o}}C\] (\[\because \] X is the new unit of temperature) \[(305-25)X=100{{\,}^{o}}C\Rightarrow 280X=100{{\,}^{o}}C\] \[\therefore \] \[1{{\,}^{o}}C=2.8x\] The specific heat capacity of water \[=4200\frac{\text{joule}}{\text{kg}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C}}=4200\times \frac{\text{joule}}{\text{kg }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 2}\text{.8x}}\] \[=1500\,J/kg-x\] \[=1.5\times {{10}^{3}}J\,k{{g}^{-1}}{{x}^{-1}}\]
