$A$ piece of metal of $850 \text{ K}$ is dropped into $1 \text{ kg}$ of water at $300 \text{ K}$. If the equilibrium temperature of the mixture is $350 \text{ K}$, then the heat capacity of the metal expressed in $\text{J/K}$ is (Specific heat of water = $4200 \text{ J/kg} \cdot \text{K}$)

$1 \text{ kg}$ of steam at $150^{\circ} \text{C}$ is passed from a steam chamber into a copper coil immersed in $20 \text{ L}$ of water. The steam condenses in the coil and is returned to the steam chamber as water at $90^{\circ} \text{C}$. The latent heat of steam is $540 \text{ cal g}^{-1}$,and the specific heat of steam is $1 \text{ cal g}^{-1} {}^{\circ} \text{C}^{-1}$. The rise in temperature of the water is: (in $^{\circ} \text{C}$)

The temperature of a copper piece of mass $50 \ g$ is raised by $10 \ ^\circ C$. If the same amount of heat is given to $10 \ g$ of water,the rise in its temperature is = ...... $^\circ C$ (Specific heat of copper $= 420 \ J/kg \cdot ^\circ C$,Specific heat of water $= 4200 \ J/kg \cdot ^\circ C$).

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

When $100\,g$ of a liquid $A$ at $100\,^oC$ is added to $50\,g$ of a liquid $B$ at temperature $75\,^oC$,the temperature of the mixture becomes $90\,^oC$. The temperature of the mixture,if $100\,g$ of liquid $A$ at $100\,^oC$ is added to $50\,g$ of liquid $B$ at $50\,^oC$,will be ........$^oC$
