alloy? Note that, because you are given no information about the thermal properties of the
thermometer and stirrer, their presence may be ignored. the
Solution
1.
Q = m*c*dT
Unit of Q = Unit of energy = Cal
Unit of m = unit of mass = gm
unit of dT = Unit of temperature = C
c = Q/m*dT
unit of c = [Q]/([m]*[dT])
Unit of c = cal/gm-C
2.
Required heat is given by:

- 2. given that m and dT are same for both lead and copper So required heat will be directly proportional to specific heat of material Now specific heat of copper =0.386 J/gm-C Specific heat of lead = 0.128 J/gm-C Since specific heat of lead is less than specific heat of copper, So lead will require less heat than copper Correct option is B.
