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 \(4.2\, Joule= 1\, calorie\))

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(434\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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

\(S = \frac{{13 \times 25 \times 7}}{{0.2 \times 110}} = 434J/k{g^ \circ }C\)
