10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
normal
An iron ball of mass $0.2\,kg$ is heated to $10\,^oC$ and put into a block of ice at $0\,^oC.$ $25\,g$ of ice melts. If the latent heat of fusion of ice is $80\,cal/g,$ then the specific heat of iron in $cal/g\,^oC$ is
A
$1$
B
$0.1$
C
$0.8$
D
$0.08$
Solution
Heat taken $=$ Heat given
or $\quad \mathrm{Ms} \Delta \theta=\mathrm{mL}$
$(200)(s)(100)=25 \times 80$
$s=0.1 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
