(Take specific heat capacity of material of vessel as 0.4 J g-1 °C-t, specifi: latent heat of fusion of ice = 936J g4, specific heat capacity of water = 42. gc. (ay Answer: (a) (i) Iemeans 50 J of heat is required to raise it temperature by 1°C. Gi) It means 336000 J of heat is required for 1 kg of ice to melt. Gii) Tt means 0-4 J of heat is required by 1 gm of copper to increase its temperature by 1 °C. () () Heat lost by hot body = Heat gained by cold body Gi) Principle of calorimetry. © Heat lost by (water + Vessel) = Heat gained by ice me OT + mc AT = ML+ me aT (150 x 42x 25) + (100 x-4x 25) = m x386-4mx42x5 m = 3067 gm.
