A calorimeter of negligible heat capacity contains ice at `0^(@)C`. 50 g metal at `100^(@)C` is dropped in the calorimeter. When thermal equilibrium is attained the volume of the content of the calorimeter was found to reduce by `0.5 xx 10^(-6) m^(3)`. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal. Neglect the change in volume of the metal. Specific latent heat of fusion of ice is `L = 300 xx 10^(3) J kg^(-1)` and its relative density is 0.9.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`270 J kg^(-1) k^(-1)`
