A calorimeter of mass m contains an equal mass of water in it. The temperature of the water and clorimeter is `t_(2).A` block of ice of mass m and temperature `t_(3)lt0^(@)C` is gently dropped into the calorimeter. Let `C_(1),C_(2) and C_(3)` be the specific heats of calorimeter, water and ice respectively and `L` be the latent heat of ice.
Water equivalent of calorimeter is

A

`mC_(1)`

B

`(mC_(1))/(C_(2))`

C

`(mC_(2))/(C_(1))`

D

None of these

Text Solution

A calorimeter takes 200 cal of heat to rise its temperature through 10^@C . Its water equivalent in gm is

10 gm of ice at -20^(@)C is dropped into a calorimeter containing 10 gm of water at 10^(@)C , the specific heat of water is twice that of ice. When equilibrium is reached the calorimeter will contain:

A calorimeter contains 10 g of water at 20^(@)C . The temperature falls to 15^(@)C in 10 min. When calorimeter contains 20 g of water at 20^(@)C , it takes 15 min for the temperature to becomes 15^(@)C . The water equivalent of the calorimeter is

Equal masses of ice (at 0^@C) and water are in contact. Find the temperature of water needed to just melt the complete ice.

Water of mass m_(2) = 1 kg is contained in a copper calorimeter of mass m_(1) = 1 kg . Their common temperature t = 10^(@)C . Now a piece of ice of mass m_(2) = 2 kg and temperature is -11^(@)C dropped into the calorimeter. Neglecting any heat loss, the final temperature of system is. [specific heat of copper =0.1 Kcal//kg^(@)C , specific heat of water = 1 Kcal//kg^(@)C , specific heat of ice = 0.5 Kcal//kg^(@)C , latent heat of fusion of ice = 78.7 Kcal//kg ]
