$A$ 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 $kJ \; kg^{-1} K^{-1}$.

  • A
    $2.56$
  • B
    $0.24$
  • C
    $0.91$
  • D
    $1.62$

$A$ piece of copper of mass $250 \ g$ at $500^{\circ} C$ is put inside a calorimeter of water equivalent $50 \ g$ containing $200 \ g$ of water at $20^{\circ} C$. At thermal equilibrium,the temperature of the mixture is $60^{\circ} C$. The specific heat of copper (in $J / kg \cdot ^{\circ} C$) is approximately: [Specific heat of water $= 4200 \ J / kg \cdot ^{\circ} C$]

$m$ g of water at $30^{\circ} C$ is mixed with $5$ g of ice at $-20^{\circ} C$. If the final equilibrium temperature of the mixture is $6^{\circ} C$,find the value of $m$. (Given: specific heat capacity of ice $= 0.5 \text{ cal g}^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$,specific heat capacity of water $= 1 \text{ cal g}^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$,and latent heat of fusion of ice $= 80 \text{ cal g}^{-1}$) (in $g$)
