Heat and Thermal ExpansionHard

Question

250 g of water  and an equal volume of alcohol of mass 200g are placed successively in the same calorimeter and cools from 60oC to 55oC in 130 sec and 67 sec respectively. If the water equivalent of the calorimeter g then the specific heat of  alcohol in cal/goC is :  - 

Options

A.1.30
B.0.67
C.0.62
D.0.985

Solution

Rate of cooling of water  = Rate of cooling of alcohol

⇒ Specific heat of alcohol
s = 0.62
Rate of cooling of water  = Rate of cooling of alcohol

⇒ Specific heat of alcohol
s = 0.62
