Answer:
Explanation:
The temperature of 0.1 kg of liquid rises from 25°C to 50°C in 300 sec. Energy of 13,600 J was supplied during this time. Appartus was losing energy at the rate of 12 J/sec.
Let us assume the Specific heat capacity as [tex]s[/tex].
As there is no state change from liquid to gas, only Specific heat capacity is involved. Also, work done is approximately zero because volume does not change much. So,
Energy gained = Energy required to rise the temperature
Energy gained by liquid = [tex]13600\text{ }J-(300\text{ }sec)\times(12\text{ }\frac{J}{sec})=10000\text{ }J[/tex]
[tex]10000\text{ }J=m\times s\times\Delta T=(0.1\text{ }kg)\times(s)\times(323K-298K)=2.5s\text{ }kgK\\s=4000\text{ }\frac{J}{kg.K}[/tex]
∴ Specific heat capacity of liquid = 4000 [tex]\frac{J}{kg.K}[/tex]
