1 kg of water in a kettle of water equivalent 200 g can be heated from 15^(@)C to 90^(@)C in 15 min by the heat supplied by a kerosene stove at the rate of 6xx10^5"cal . H"^(-1) . What percentage of the heat produced by the stove is absorbed by the kettle and water?

Two calorimeters of water equivalent 25 g and 60 g are initially at 0^(@)C . Some water at 50^(@)C is poured in the first calorimeter and after thermal equilibrium is attained, the first calorimeter is emptied into the second one. If the final temperature of water and the second calorimeter becomes 25^(@)C , find the mass of water.

When 210 g of water at 80^(@)C is kept in a calorimeter of water equivalent 90 g, its temperatue decreases to 60^(@)C in 10 min. If the water is replaced by a liquid of mass 100 g, the same fall in temperature takes place in 5 min. If the rate of cooling is the same in both cases, what is the specific heat capacity of the liquid ?

50 g of an alloy containing 80% copper and 20% silver is heated up to t_(1)=80^(@)C and then dropped in a calorimeter of water equivalent W = 10 g containing m = 90 g of water at t_(2)=20^(@)C . What will be the final temerature of the mixture ? Specific heat capacity of copper and silver are s_(c)=0.09" cal.g"^(-1).^(@)C^(-1) and s_(s)="0.15 cal.g"^(-1).^(@)C^(-1) respectively.

A liquid kept in a calorimeter cools down from 50^(@)C to 40^(@)C in 2 minutes, and an equal volume of water in that calorimeter takes 5 minutes to cool down through the same range of temperature. If the mass of the water is 100 g and that of the liquid is 85 g. then calculate the specific heat of the liquid. Water equivalent of the calorimeter = 10 g.

A thermometer of mass 55 g and specific heat "0.2 cal.g"^(-1).^(@)C^(-1) reads 15^(@)C at the room temperature. When the thermometer, it reads 44.4^(@)C . If the water equivalent of the calorimeter is 50 g and the mass of water taken is 250 g, find the temperature of water before the immersion of the thermometer.
