Answer to Problem 1OQ

Option (c) The specific heat of ice is less than that of water.

Explanation of Solution

An amount of energy is added to ice by heat and raise it temperature from 10°C to 5°C, the change in temperature is ΔTice=5°C. And a larger amount of energy is added to the same mass of water to raise its temperature from 15°C to 20°C, the change in temperature is ΔTwater=5°C.

Write the formula for specific heat

    c=QmΔT        (I)

Here, Q is the energy transferred, m is the mass, c is the specific heat of the substance and ΔT is the change in temperature.

In the above equation, the mass and the temperature change of ice and water are the same. Thus, the specific heat is directly proportional to the energy added.

Since, water needs larger amount of energy to rise the temperature by 5°C and ice needs lesser amount of energy to rise its temperature by 5°C. The specific heat to water is greater than the specific heat of ice. Option (c) is correct.

A thirsty nurse cools a 2.40 L bottle of a soft drink (mostly water) by pouring it into a large aluminum mug of mass 0.249 kg and adding 0.122 kg of ice initially at -14.3 ∘C. If the soft drink and mug are initially at 21.0 ∘C, what is the final temperature of the system, assuming no heat losses? Express your answer in degrees Celsius.
A fluid called F has the same properties as water but its freezing point is 10degC and its boiling point is 777degC. Now, consider a frozen fluid F of mass M kg with temperature T1degC(T1<10degC.) How much energy is needed so that the frozen fluid F will be converted into steam of temperature T2degC(T2>777degC)? The latent heat of fusion of fluid F is H0 J/kgdegC and the latent heat of vaporization is Hx J/kg. Show complete solution.
