Question

A ball of heat capacity $10$ cal $^{o} C^{- 1}$ is heated to a certain temperature and then transferred into a vessel containing water and having a total water equivalent $200$ g. The temperature of water and vessel rises from $10^{o}$ C to $40^{o}$ C. Then find the initial temperature of the ball.

Solution

Given: A ball of heat capacity $10 c a l^{o} C^{- 1}$ is heated to a certain temperature and then transferred into a vessel containing water and having a total water equivalent 200g. The temperature of water and vessel rises from $10^{o} C$ to $40^{o} C$
To find the initial temperature of the ball.
Thermal capacity of ball = $10 c a l /^{o} C$
Let $T$ be the furnace temperature.
Water equivalent of vessel and contents = $200 g m$
Resultant temperature = $40^{o} C$
According to principle of calorimetry,
Heat lost by hot body = heat gained by cold body
$10 (T - 40^{\circ} C) = 200 \times (40^{\circ} C - 10^{\circ} C) ⟹ T - 40^{\circ} C = \frac{200}{10} \times 30^{\circ} C$
$⟹ T = (600 + 40)^{\circ} C = 640^{o} C$
is the initial temperature of the ball.

Ice at $- 20^{\circ} C$ is filled upto height $h = 10 c m$ in a uniform cylindrical vessel. Water at temperature $θ^{\circ} C$ is filled in another identical vessel up to the same height $h = 10 c m$ . Now, water from second vessel is poured into first vessel and it is found that level of upper surface falls through $Δ h = 0.5 c m$ when thermal equilibrium is reached. Neglecting thermal capacity of vessels, change in density of water due to change in temperature and loss of heat due to radiation, calculate initial temperature $θ$ of water in $^{o} C$ .
Given,

Density of water, $ρ_{w} = 1 g c m^{- 3}$

Density of ice, $ρ_{i} = 0.9 g c m^{- 3}$

Specific heat of water, $s_{w} = 1 c a l / g^{\circ} C$

Specific heat of ice, $s_{i} = 0.5 c a l / g^{\circ} C$

Specific latent heat of ice, $L = 80 c a l / g$
