a calorimeter of thermal capacity 80j contains 20g of water at 25
oC. Water at 100
oC is added so that the final temperature of the set-ups is 50
oC. The amount of water added is (Heat capacity of water = 4.18J/g/
oC)
-
A.
20g
-
B.
25g
-
C.
45g
-
D.
50g
-
E.
100g
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
Heat lost = heat gained
mc\(\theta\) = c\(\theta\) + mc\(\theta\)
m x 4.18 x (100 - 50) = 80(50 -25) + [20 x 4.18] x (50 - 25)
m = 20g
