The heat produced by burning of cow dung cake of mass 210 g raised the temperature of 50 g of water by 2° C. Assuming that all the heat was utilized for heating water whose specific heat capacity is 4.2 J/g ° C, calculate the calorific value of the dung cake.
Mass of cow dung = 210 g
Mass of water, m = 50 g
Specific heat of water, s = 4.2 J/g/° C
Rise in temperature, t = 2 ° C
Heat produced Q = m × s × t = 50 × 4.2 × 2 = 420 Joules
Calorific value of cow dung =
= 2 J/g.
Mass of water, m = 50 g
Specific heat of water, s = 4.2 J/g/° C
Rise in temperature, t = 2 ° C
Heat produced Q = m × s × t = 50 × 4.2 × 2 = 420 Joules
Calorific value of cow dung =
= 2 J/g. AI is thinking…
