Write the expression for the heat energy Q received by m kg of a substance of specific heat capacity c J kg−1 K−1 when it is heated through △t ∘C.
Heat energy, Q = mc ΔT joules
The S.I. unit of specific heat capacity is :
(a) J kg−1 (b) J K−1
(c) J kg−1 K−1 (d) kcal kg−1 ∘C−1
The amount of heat energy required to convert 1 kg of ice at −10∘C to water at 100∘C is 7,77,000 J. Calculate the specific latent heat of ice.
Specific heat capacity of ice = 2100 J kg−1 K−1, specific heat capacity of water=4200 J kg−1 K−1.
A mass m1 of a substance of specific heat capacity c1 at temperature t1 is mixed with a mass m2 of other substance of specific heat capacity c2 at a lower temperature t2.Deduce the expression for the temperature t of the mixture.State the assumption made,if any.
