In an experiment to measure the specific heat capacity of copper, 0.02 kg of water at 70°C is poured into a copper calorimeter (with a stirrer) of mass 0.16 kg at 15°C. After stirring, the final temperature is found to be 45°C. If the specific heat of water is 4,200 J/kg/°C,​

WATER:-

Mass :- 0.02 kg at 70°C

Specific Heat Of Water is 4,200 J/kg°C,

COPPER:-

MASS:- mass 0.16 kg at 15°C

Temperatures r according to the part !

what is the quantity of heat released per kg of water per 1°C fall in temperature?

Calculate the heat energy released by water in the experiment in cooling from 70°C to 45°C.

Assuming that the heat released by water is entirely used to raise the temperature of calorimeter from 15°C to 45°C) calculate the specific heat capacity of copper.

It is the amount of the heat released by unit mass of the body per 1°C fall in temperature.

It is the amount of the heat absorbed by the unit mass of the body per 1°C rise in temperature

So quantity of heat released per kg of water per 1°C fall in temperature is equal to the specific heat of the water which is 4,200 J/kg°C,

MASS OF WATER --> 0.02 kg

INITIAL TEMPERATURE--> 70°C

FINAL TEMPERATURE--> 45°C

CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE--> (45-70)°C =(- 25)°C

SPECIFIC HEAT OF WATER--> 4200 J/ kg °C

NEGATIVE INDICATES THAT HEAT IS RELEASED BY THE BODY!

IT MEANS COOLING HAS BEEN TAKEN PLACED.

MASS OF COPPER :- 0.16 kg

INITIAL TEMPERATURE:- 15°C

FINAL TEMPERATURE:- 45°C

CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE--> (45-15)°C = 30°C

AMOUNT OF HEAT RELEASED BY WATER --> 2100 J ( From second part)

it is b. absorbs thermal energy
