CALORIMETRY

The water equivalent of a copper calorimeter is 4.5g. If specific heat of copper is .09 cal /g/°c, then:-
(1) Mass of the calorimeter is .5 kg

(2) Thermal capacity of the colorimeter is 4.5 cal /° C

(3) The heat required to raise the temperature of the calorimeter by 8° C will be 36 cal.

(4) Heat required to melt 15 gm of ice placed in the colorimeter will be 1200 cal

CHOSE THE CORRECT OPTION FROM BELOW

(A) 1 is correct (B) 2,3 only are correct

(C) 2,3,4 are correct (D) 3,4 only are correct

Ya I wanted to know how thermal cap = 4.5?????

4
UTTARA ·

Thermal cap is same as heat cap

If u r still not convinced leave it & plzz post the right ans with proper units !!!!

Subhomoy Bakshi ·

2 and 3 are surely correct....so atleast option b is correct...

now if we can assume initial temperature to be 0°C then option c

else option b

Thanks subhomoy & anirudh

u're right

1 ---> x

2 ---->√

3 ----> √

4 ----> √ (or assume qs to be wrong)

avinav this is to clarify ue doubt...

no 2 option is correct...coz thermal capacity is not specific heat capacity it is the temp reqd to raise the temp the temp of any body of any mass by 1°C .... irrespective of mass....so thermal capacity of similar materials of diff masses is different...

thermal capacity=specific heat capacity*mass of body=heat capacity..[1]

UTTARA ·

Ya subhomoy u're right

but heat capacity = thermal capacity

specific heat capacity ≠thermal capacity

@UTTARA....in #15 u were asking for some calculations...bt wat calculations???[3]

I DON'T THINK THERE IS WRITTEN THAT HEAT CAPACITY IS SAME AS THERMAL CAPACITY......ISN'T IT?

if what u defined thermal capcity as then it is easy cALCULATION

T.CP.=MS=4.5G*1CAL/C-G=4.5CAL/C

Yes the correct answer is option C,although i made mistake in this one by putting B thinking calorimeter will absorb heat,forgetiing that there wasnt any temp change[2].
btw,this one is also from the full tests mailed from fiitjee, uttara?
and have u got the next 4 that were to be sent to us on receiving photocopy of IITJEE form?

palasc hauhan ·

CALCULATE IT IF THERE IS SOME ANGLE THEN ADD COS FUNCTION AT NUMERATOR Q = THE ANGLE Q THETA

UTTARA ·

ans is C

I had a prob with the ans given

UTTARA ·

It's same as heat capacity / thermal capacity

Didn't u read the link[3]

@UTTARA........

THERMAL MASS......LOLZZZZZZZZ[3]

QUESTION IS TALKING OF THERMAL CAPACITY!!!

4
UTTARA ·

c this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_mass

So 2 is √

But i want the calculation part

SO DO U AGREE ANS SHOULD BE [3]NONE OF THESE [3]

Let's make it this way
