Certain amount of heat is given to 100g of copper to increase its temperature by 210C. If the same amount of heat is given to 50 g of water, then what is the rise its temperature ?(Specific heat capacity of copper = 400 J / kgK and that for water = 42000 J / kgK ).

Solution
The amount of heat supplied is given by Q=mcΔT Here ,m=100g=0.1kg;c=400J/kg−K Thus,Q=0.1×400×21=840J Hence,840=0.05×4200×ΔT ΔT=4oC
