MediumIs the specific heat of water and ice the same? Give their values.
(N/A) No, the specific heat capacities of water and ice are not the same.
The specific heat capacity of water is approximately $4.18 \, J \, g^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ (or $1 \, cal \, g^{-1} \, ^\circ C^{-1}$).
The specific heat capacity of ice is approximately $2.09 \, J \, g^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ (or $0.5 \, cal \, g^{-1} \, ^\circ C^{-1}$).

View Solution$A$ small electric heater is used to heat $200 \,g$ of water. The time required to bring all this water from $40^{\circ} C$ to $100^{\circ} C$ is $200 \,s$. If the specific heat of the water is $4200 \,J \,kg^{-1} \,K^{-1}$, then the power supplied by the heater is: (in $\,W$)
The specific heat of a substance varies with temperature as $c = 0.20 + 0.14t + 0.023t^2 \, (cal/g \cdot ^\circ C)$. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of $2 \, g$ of the substance from $5 \, ^\circ C$ to $15 \, ^\circ C$ is: (in $, cal$)
