10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
medium
A calorimeter contains $0.2\, kg$ of water at $30\,^oC$, $0.1\,kg$ of water at $60\,^oC$ is added to it, the mixture is well stirred and the resulting temperature is found to be $35\,^oC$. The thermal capacity of calorimeter is .......... $J/K$
A
$6300$
B
$1260$
C
$4200$
D
$8400$
Solution
Heat gained by
Calorimeter $=[\mathrm{x} \times(35-30)]$
By water (Heat gain) $\Rightarrow 0.2 \times 4.2 \times 10^{3} \times(35-30)$
Heat Loss by water $=0.1 \times 4.2 \times 10^{3} \times(60-35)$
Total Heat lost $=$ Total heat gain
$0.1 \times 4.2 \times 10^{3} \times(60-35)$
$=0.2 \times 4.2 \times 10^{3} \times(35-30)+\mathrm{x}(35-30)$
$(x=1260 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{k})$
