Q. Assertion :A calorimeter can be used to measure the amount of heat lost or absorbed in a process
Reason: Calorimeters can be used to measure heat lost or gained by a system and its surroundings

Q. Solid whose specific heat is to be determined is heated uniformly up to a fixed temperature in a hypsometer. It is then dropped in a calorimeter containing known quantity of cold water and the temperature of mixture is recorded. The hot solid will lose heat whereas calorimeter and cold water will gain heat till the temperature becomes same throughout.

. Find the specific heat capacity of the solid.

Q. In an experiment to determine the specific heat capacity of a solid, following observations were made:
Mass of calorimeter + stirrer=

x k g

y k g

Initial temperature of water=

t_{1}^{o} C

z k g

Temperature of solid=
