Equal masses of milk and water are taken...

Equal masses of milk and water are taken in two identical kettles and heated by the same source. The ratio of rise of temperature of milk is found to be higher than that of water. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since both the kettles are heated by the same source, in the same interval of time amount of heat (H) absorbed is the same `((H)/("time"))` and mass (m) and fixed, then from the equation H = mst we get,
`"st "prop "constant "therefore t prop (1)/(s)`
Now, since specific that of milk is less than that of water, rate of increase in temperature of milk is greater than that of water of the same mass.
