$A$ 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
    $1.62$

$10 \, kg$ of water is to be heated from $20^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ in $1 \, hour$. Steam at $150^{\circ}C$ is passed through a copper coil immersed in the water. The steam condenses and returns to the boiler at $90^{\circ}C$. How much steam is required per hour? (Specific heat of water $= 1 \, cal/g^{\circ}C$,Latent heat of vaporization $= 540 \, cal/g$)

$A$ $2100 W$ continuous flow geyser (instant geyser) has water inlet temperature $= 10^{\circ}C$ while the water flows out at the rate of $20\,g/s$. The outlet temperature of water must be about ....... $^{\circ}C$.

$300 \, g$ of water at $25^{\circ}C$ is added to $100 \, g$ of ice at $0^{\circ}C$. The final temperature of the mixture is ........ $^{\circ}C$.

$1\, kg$ of ice at $-10\,^{\circ}C$ is mixed with $4.4\, kg$ of water at $30\,^{\circ}C$. The final temperature of the mixture is ........ $^{\circ}C$. (Specific heat of ice = $2100\, J/kg\cdot K$,specific heat of water = $4200\, J/kg\cdot K$,latent heat of fusion of ice = $3.36 \times 10^5\, J/kg$)
