Q.

When 100 g of boiling water at  1000C  is added into a calorimeter containing 300 g of cold water at 100C , temperature of the mixture becomes  200C. Then a metallic blocker mass 1 kg at 100C  is dipped into the mixture in the calorimeter. After reaching thermal equilibrium, the final temperature becomes  190C. What is the specific heat of the metal in C.G.S. unit?

 mwater(boiling)=100g,cwater=1calg10C1,T1=1000C
 mwater(cold)=300g,,T2=100C,Tmix=200C
Let mass of calorimeter is m and specific heat of material of calorimeter is c.
Heat lost by hot water = Heat gained by cold water + Heat gained by calorimeter
 100×1×(10020)=300×1×(2010)+mc(2010)
 8000=3000+10mcmc=500.........(i)
Now mass of metal = 1 kg = 1000 g
Let cm   be the specific heat of meta l.
The total mass of water in calorimeter is 400 g.
Heat lost by water + calorimeter = heat gained by metal 
 400×1×(2019)+mc(2019)=1000×cm×(1910)
 400+500=1000×cm×19[from(i)]
 cm=0.1calg10C1
