Detailed Solution

Given that water equivalent of copper calorie meter is 4.5 g.

Water equivalent = ms in grams

So W = ms = 4.5 g

 We know specific heat of copper =0.09cal/gmC

m×0.09=4.5g

(i)we get mass of calorimeter

m=4509=50g

So option (a) is false

(ii) thermal capacity of calorimeter

H=ms=4.5calc1

So option (b) is true

(iii) the heat required to raise the calorimeter by 80c is

We know

Q=msΔt                                     Δt=8=4.5×8                                      ms=4.5calc1

Q=36cal

So option (c)is also true

(iv) Heat required to melt 15 g of ice in calorimeter

Qtoel = heat required to melt 15g of ice + heat required for cal orim eter to be at 0C

Q=15×80cal+0=1200cal

So option (d) is also true.

So we get only option (a) as incorrect among the given options.
