Q9 of 17 Page 71

Solve the following problems:

Equal heat is given to two objects A and B of mass 1 g. Temperature of A increases by 3oC and B by 5oC. Which object has more specific heat? And by what factor?

Specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.


It is given by the formula:


Q = mcΔT


Or


Where, Q is the amount of heat added.


T is the temperature.


“c” is the specific heat


“m” is the mass


Now, let say, two objects A and B.


Then, the ratio of the specific heats of two objects is given as:




As per the question, equal heat is given to two objects A and B of mass 1 g



Or



Clearly, it shows that the specific heat of A is greater than B with a factor 1.66.

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.

If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy.


The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both the objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses heat energy. If the system of both the objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistant box (meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two objects only), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box.


i. Heat is transferred from where to where?


ii. Which principle do we learn about from this process?


iii. How will you state the principle briefly?


iv. Which property of the substance is measured using this principle?
