$A$ calorimeter contains $0.5 \,kg$ of water at $30^{\circ} C$. When $0.3 \,kg$ of water at $60^{\circ} C$ is added to it, the resulting temperature is found to be $40^{\circ} C$. The water equivalent of the calorimeter is (in $\,kg$)

  • A
    $0.25$
  • B
    $0.1$
  • C
    $0.2$
  • D

Objects $A$ and $B$ that are initially separated from each other and well isolated from their surroundings are then brought into thermal contact. Initially $T_A = 0^{\circ}C$ and $T_B = 100^{\circ}C$. The specific heat of $A$ is less than the specific heat of $B$. After some time,the system comes to an equilibrium state. The final temperatures are :

$A$ sphere of $0.047 \; kg$ aluminium is placed for a sufficient time in a vessel containing boiling water,so that the sphere is at $100 \; ^{\circ}C$. It is then immediately transferred to a $0.14 \; kg$ copper calorimeter containing $0.25 \; kg$ water at $20 \; ^{\circ}C$. The temperature of the water rises and attains a steady state at $23 \; ^{\circ}C$. Calculate the specific heat capacity of aluminium in $kJ \; kg^{-1} K^{-1}$.
