(D) Let $W$ be the water equivalent of the calorimeter in $g$. Step $1$: Heat lost by hot water = Heat gained by cold water + Heat gained by calorimeter. $100 \times 1 \times (100 - 20) = 300 \times 1 \times (20 - 10) + W \times 1 \times (20 - 10)$ $8000 = 3000 + 10W$ $10W = 5000 \implies W = 500 \ g$. Step $2$: Heat lost by mixture = Heat gained by metallic block. Mass of mixture = $100 \ g + 300 \ g = 400 \ g$. Heat lost by mixture and calorimeter = $(400 \times 1 + 500) \times (20 - 19) = 900 \times 1 = 900 \ cal$. Heat gained by metallic block = $m \times S_b \times \Delta T = 1000 \ g \times S_b \times (19 - 10) = 9000 \times S_b$. Equating the two: $9000 \times S_b = 900$. $S_b = 0.1 \ cal/g^{\circ} C$.

When $100 \ g$ of boiling water at $100^{\circ} C$ is added into a calorimeter containing $300 \ g$ of cold water at $10^{\circ} C$, the temperature of the mixture becomes $20^{\circ} C$. Then, a metallic block of mass $1 \ kg$ at $10^{\circ} C$ is dipped into the mixture in the calorimeter. After reaching thermal equilibrium, the final temperature becomes $19^{\circ} C$. What is the specific heat of the metal in $C$.$G$.$S$. units?

Objects $A$ and $B$ that are initially separated from each other and well isolated from their surroundings are then brought into thermal contact. Initially $T_A = 0^{\circ}C$ and $T_B = 100^{\circ}C$. The specific heat of $A$ is less than the specific heat of $B$. After some time,the system comes to an equilibrium state. The final temperatures are :

Two liquids $A$ and $B$ are at temperatures of $75^{\circ} C$ and $15^{\circ} C$. Their masses are in the ratio of $2: 3$ and their specific heats in the ratio $3: 4$. If these two liquids are mixed,then the resulting temperature will be $...^{\circ} C$.

Steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is passed into $1 \ kg$ of water contained in a calorimeter of water equivalent $0.2 \ kg$ at $9^{\circ} C$ until the temperature of the calorimeter and water in it increases to $90^{\circ} C$. The mass of steam condensed in $kg$ is nearly (specific heat of water $= 1 \ cal/g^{\circ} C$, latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 \ cal/g$)

Two identical bodies are made of a material for which the heat capacity increases with temperature. One of these is held at a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$,while the other one is kept at $0^{\circ} C$. If the two are brought into contact,then assuming no heat loss to the environment,the final temperature that they will reach is
