Question

40g of water at 60oC is poured into a vessel containing 50g of water at 20oC.

The final temperature of water is read as 30oC. Calculate the thermal capacity of the vessel.(Specific heat capacity of water is 4.2J/ goC.

Open in App
Solution

Let us compare the mSQ for both

Which is the change in the product of mass x Specific heat x Change in temperature

40 x 4.2 x 30= 50 x thermal capacity of vessel x 10

thermal capacity = 10.08 J / g C
