Interpretation:
The specific heat of alloy has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Law of conservation of energy states that total energy of an isolated system remains constant, energy remains conserved overtime. This is first law of
Quantity of heat exchanged in an experiment is dependent on 3 factors-amounts of materials, specific heat capacity and the temperature change the material undergoes. The general relationship is as follows:
Answer to Problem 1PQ
Option (B) is the correct one.
Explanation of Solution
When a sample of alloy is added to cooler water, heat flow will take place till thermal equilibrium is reached. Energy is conserved in this process, that is heat lost by silver is gained by water as per first law of thermodynamics.
The formula to calculate heat lost by alloy is a follows:
Here,
Substitute
The formula to calculate heat gained by water is a follows:
Substitute
Since energy remains conserved so it can be expressed as follows:
Substitute equation
The specific heat of alloy is
Reason for incorrect option:
Since specific heat of alloy is
The specific heat of alloy is
