Answer 1

Unit of water equivalent of calorimeter

1. The water equivalent is represented by $W$.
2. It is the quantity of water whose thermal capacity is equal to the body's heat capacity.
3. Water equivalence of a substance is defined as the product of a mass of a substance by its specific heat, which is numerically equal to the mass of water that has the same thermal capacity as that substance.

Hence, the SI unit for water equivalence is kg.
