JEE Main & Advanced Physics Thermometry, Calorimetry & Thermal Expansion Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Thermal Properties of Matter

  • question_answer
    A student takes 50gm wax (specific heat = 0.6\[\operatorname{kcal}/kg{}^\circ C\]) and heats it till it boils. The graph between temperature and time is as follows. Heat supplied to the wax per minute and boiling point are respectively          

    A) \[500cal, 50{}^\circ C\]

    B) \[1000cal, 100{}^\circ C\]

    C) \[1500cal, 200{}^\circ C\]

    D) \[1000cal, 200{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Since specific heat   \[=0.6 kcal/g x {}^\circ C=0.6\]\[\operatorname{cal}/gx{}^\circ C\]   From graph it is clear that in a minute, the temperature is raised from \[0{}^\circ C\]to  \[50{}^\circ C\]. \[\Rightarrow \]Heat required for a minute \[=50\times 0.6\times 50\] =1500 cal. Also from graph. Boiling point of wax is\[200{}^\circ C\].
