Gce Model Questions Vol1 2018 Physics Question 12
Practice objective / multiple choice question 12 from the 2018 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Physics examination.
A 200 g piece of aluminium (specific heat \(c_{Al}=0.900\) kJ kg\(^{-1}\) K\(^{-1}\)) at \(150^{\circ}\)C is placed into 500 g of water (specific heat \(c_{w}=4.18\) kJ kg\(^{-1}\) K\(^{-1}\)) initially at \(20^{\circ}\)C in an insulated container. After the system reaches equilibrium its temperature is \(T_{1}\). The mixture is then transferred into a calorimeter whose initial temperature is \(20^{\circ}\)C and whose heat capacity \(C_{cal}\) (in kJ K\(^{-1}\)) is unknown. After the transfer the final temperature of the whole system is \(30^{\circ}\)C. Determine the heat capacity \(C_{cal}\) of the calorimeter (express your answer in kJ K\(^{-1}\) to two significant figures).
