10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
normal
$2\,kg$ of metal at $100\,^oC$ is cooled by $1\,kg$ of water at $0\,^oC$ . If specific heat capacity of metal is $\frac {1}{2}$ of specific heat capacity of water, final temperature of mixture would be
A
$50\,^oC$
B
More than $50\,^oC$
C
Less than $50\,^oC$
D
None of the above
Solution
heat loss by metal $=$ heat gain by water $\mathrm{m}_{1} \mathrm{s}_{1}(100-\theta)=\mathrm{m}_{2} \mathrm{s}_{2}(\theta-0)$
$\Rightarrow 2 \times \frac{s_{2}}{2} \times(100-\theta)=1 \times s_{2} \times \theta$
$\Rightarrow 100-\theta=\theta \quad \Rightarrow \theta=50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
