  2. False

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Yes, its true that if there are no heat losses to the surroundings, the quantity of heat gained by the cold body is equal to the quantity of heat lost by the hot body.
If there is no heat loss, as heat is a form of energy; by conservation of energy i.e. energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to other or can be transferred from one body to other.

C Correct answer
Explanation
Final temperature of celomiter and its constant is given as
$To=75^o C$
$\Rightarrow \ 100\times 0.1\times (75-T)+100\times 0.1(75-30)+1.70 \times 1\times (75.32)$
$\therefore \ T=885^oC$

400 g of vegetable oil of specific heat capacity $1.98 J g^{-1} {\;}^oC^{-1}$ is cooled from $100^oC$. Find the final temperature, if the heat energy given out by oil is 47376 J.

  1. $30.2^oC$

  2. $40.2^oC$

  3. $50.2^oC$

  4. $43.2^oC$

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

$m=400 g, C=1.98 Jg^{-1} {\;}^oC^{-1}$
$T _1=100^oC, T _2=?$
Fall in temperature
$\Delta T=(100-x)$
Heat energy given out by oil
$=47376 J$
According to formula $Q=m.C.\Delta T$
$\Rightarrow 47376=400\times 1.98 (100-x)$
$\Rightarrow 100-x=\frac {47376}{400\times 1.98}=59.8$
$\Rightarrow x=100-59.8=40.2^oC$
$\therefore$ Final temperature of oil $=40.2^oC$.

2000 cal of heat is supplied to 200 g of water. Find the rise in temperature. (Specific heat of water $=1 cal g^{-1} {\;}^oC^{-1})$

  1. $10 ^oC$

  2. $20 ^oC$

  3. $30 ^oC$

  4. $40 ^oC$

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Quantity of heat supplied
$Q=2000 cal$
Mass of water, $m=200 g$
Specific heat of water
$C=1 cal g^{-1} {\;}^oC^{-1}$
Rise in temperature $=?$
From relation, $Q=m C\Delta T$
$\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac {Q}{m.C}$
$=\frac {2000 cal}{200 g\times 1cal g^{-1} {\;}^oC^{-1}}=10^oC$
So, the temperature of water rises by $10^oC$.

  2. <span>8 : 5</span>

  3. <span>40 : 5</span>

  4. <span>48 : 5</span>

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Let mass of the liquids P and R be $m _P$ and $m _R$ respectively.
According to calorimeter,
Heat lost by liquid P $=$ Heat gained by liquid R.
$\therefore m _PC _P(70-40)=m _RC _R(40-30)$
$m _P(2400)(40)=m _R(1000)(10)$
$\frac {m _P}{m _R}=\frac {2400\times 40}{1000\times 10}=\frac {48}{5}$
$\frac {m _P}{m _R}=48 : 5$
