Two liquids $A$ and $B$ are at $32^{\circ}C$ and $24^{\circ}C$. When mixed in equal masses,the temperature of the mixture is found to be $28^{\circ}C$. Their specific heats are in the ratio of:

  • A
    $3:2$
  • B
    $2:3$
  • C
    $1:1$
  • D
    $4:3$

In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal,a $0.20 \; kg$ block of the metal at $150 \; ^{\circ}C$ is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent $0.025 \; kg$) containing $150 \; cm^{3}$ of water at $27 \; ^{\circ}C$. The final temperature is $40 \; ^{\circ}C$. Compute the specific heat of the metal. If heat losses to the surroundings are not negligible,is your answer greater or smaller than the actual value for the specific heat of the metal?

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

$A$ $210 \,W$ heater is used to heat $100 \,g$ of water. The time required to raise the temperature of this water from $25^{\circ} C$ to $100^{\circ} C$ is (specific heat capacity of water $= 4200 \,J / kg \cdot ^{\circ} C$). (in $\,s$)

$A$ $10 \,kW$ drilling machine is used to drill a bore in an aluminium block of mass $25 \,kg$. If the machine is on for $3 \,minutes$ and $50 \%$ of the heat liberated is absorbed by the block, what is the rise in temperature of the block (in $^{\circ} C$)? (Specific heat of aluminium is $900 \,J \,kg^{-1} \,K^{-1}$)
