Important Questions on Specific Heat Capacity

EASY
IMPORTANT

Certain amount of heat is given to 100 g of copper to increase its temperature by  21°C . If the same amount of heat is given to 50 g  of water, then the rise in its temperature is
(Specific heat capacity of copper =400 J kg-1 K-1  and that for  water =4200 J kg-1 K-1 )

EASY
IMPORTANT

A lead bullet strikes against a steel plate with a velocity 200 m s-1. If the impact is perfectly inelastic and the heat produced is equally shared between the bullet and the target, then the rise in temperature of the bullet is (specific heat capacity of lead =125 J kg-1 K-1)

IMPORTANT

A bubble of n mole of helium is submerged at a certain depth in water. The temperature of water increases by Δt°C. How much heat is added approximately to helium during expansion?

EASY
IMPORTANT

80 g of water at 30°C  are poured on a large block of ice at 0°C. The mass of ice that melts is:

(Specific heat capacity of water is s=1 cal g-1 °C-1, Latent heat of the water L=80 cal g-1 °C-1)

IMPORTANT

Steam is passed into 22gm  of water at 20°C. The mass of water that will be present when the water acquires a temperature of 90°C  (Latent heat of steam is 540 cal g-1s=1 cal K-1 gm-1 is specific heat capacity,) is
