10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
hard
In an experiment a sphere of aluminium of mass $0.20\, kg$ is heated upto $150\,^oC$. Immediately, it is put into water of volume $150\, cc$ at $27\,^oC$ kept in a calorimeter of water equivalent to $0.025\, kg$. Final temperature of the system is $40\,^oC$. The specific heat of aluminium is ............ $J/kg\,-\,^oC$ (take $4.2\, Joule= 1\, calorie$)
A
$378$
B
$315$
C
$476$
D
$434$

Solution
According to principle of calorimetry,
${Q_{given}} = {Q_{used}}$
$0.2 \times S \times \left( {150 – 40} \right) = 150 \times 1 \times \left( {40 – 27} \right) + 25$
$ \times \left( {40 – 27} \right)$
$0.2 \times S \times 110 = 150 \times 13 + 25 \times 13$
Specificheat of aluminium
$S = \frac{{13 \times 25 \times 7}}{{0.2 \times 110}} = 434J/k{g^ \circ }C$
