Question

Which principle is involved in the experiment to determine the specific heat of a liquid by the method of mixture?

• A. Heat gained by solid $=$ Heat lost by calorimeter and liquid
• B. Heat lost by solid $=$ Heat gained by calorimeter and liquid
• C. Heat lost by solid and liquid $=$ Heat gained by calorimeter
• D. Heat gained by solid and liquid $=$ Heat lost by calorimeter

Answer 1

The correct option is A Heat gained by solid $=$ Heat lost by calorimeter and liquid

We use this method by putting a heated rod in a liquid and then measuring the rise of temperature of liquid. So heat is lost by solid and gained by liquid and colorimeter.
