A solid metallic sphere of mass and specific heat capacity is heated to and then placed into a well-insulated calorimeter of heat capacity . The calorimeter contains of a liquid initially at . If the final equilibrium temperature of the system is and heat loss to the surroundings is negligible, what is the specific heat capacity of the liquid?
- A
- Cevap
- C
- D
Cevap
The heat lost by the cooling metallic sphere is . This energy raises the temperature of both the calorimeter container and the liquid by . Setting yields , giving .
