A piece of iron of mass 100g is kept inside a furnace for a long time ...
Mass of Iron = 100g
Water Eq of caloriemeter = 10g
Mass of water = 240g
Let the Temp. of surface = 0ºC
Siron = 470J/kg°C
Total heat gained = Total heat lost.
So,100/1000× 470 × (θ – 60) = 250/1000 × 4200 × (60 – 20)
⇒ 47θ – 47 × 60 = 25 × 42 × 40
⇒ θ = 4200 + 2820/47= 44820/47 =953.61°C

°C. The initial temperature of the iron is also 20°C. After some time, the final temperature of the system is reached at 50°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of iron.
To solve this problem, we can use the principle of conservation of energy. The heat gained by the water and the calorimeter is equal to the heat lost by the iron.
The heat gained by the water and the calorimeter can be calculated using the formula:
Q = m * c * ΔT
where:
Q is the heat gained by the water and the calorimeter
m is the mass of the water and the calorimeter (240g + 10g = 250g)
c is the specific heat capacity of water (4.18 J/g°C)
ΔT is the change in temperature (50°C - 20°C = 30°C)
Q = 250g * 4.18 J/g°C * 30°C
Q = 31275 J
The heat lost by the iron can be calculated using the formula:
Q = m * c * ΔT
where:
Q is the heat lost by the iron
m is the mass of the iron (100g)
c is the specific heat capacity of iron (unknown)
ΔT is the change in temperature (50°C - 20°C = 30°C)
Q = 100g * c * 30°C
Q = 3000c J
Since the heat gained by the water and the calorimeter is equal to the heat lost by the iron, we can set up the equation:
31275 J = 3000c J
Simplifying the equation:
c = 31275 J / 3000 J/g
c = 10.425 J/g°C
Therefore, the specific heat capacity of iron is 10.425 J/g°C.
