Question

0.120kg of copper of specific heat capacity 100calkg-1°C-1and at 20°C is heated by a burner for two minutes, which supplies heat energy at the rate of 20calories/sec. Calculate the final temperature of copper.

Solution

Step 1: Given data

Mass (m)=0.120kg

Specific heat capacity(c)=100calkg-1°C-1

Rate of heat energy supplied=20calories/sec

Time(t)=2minutes=120seconds

Initial temperature T1=20°C

Final temperature T2=?

Rise in temperature (θR)=T2-T1


Step 2: Calculating the total heat supplied and then rise in temperature

Total heat supplied to copper= Rate of heat energy supplied ×Time

=20cal/s×120s=2400cal


Step 3: Calculating the rise in temperature

Now, total heat supplied=mcθR

2400cal=0.120kg×100calkg-1°C-1×θRθR=24000.120×100θR=200°C


Step 4: Calculating the final temperature of copper

We know,

θR=T2-T1=200°CT2=200°C+T1T2=200°C+20°CT2=220°C


The final temperature of copper is 220°C.
