2. A student dips an uncalibrated alcohol-in-glass thermometer in 4. The resistance of the resistance thermometer iss 100 Ω at
melting ice, then in the steam of boiling water and lastly in sea 100oC and 240 Ω at 300oC. If the resistance of the resistance
water. Each time the student marks the height of the alcohol thermometer is directly proportional to the temperature,
column reached as shown in diagram 1. What is the a. What is the temperature in 0C when the resistance of the
temperature of the sea water in oC thermometer is 350 Ω?
b. What is the resistance of the resistance thermometer if the
temperature recorded is 160 0C?
Understanding Specific Heat Capacity 4. An aluminium blocks of mass 750 g at 120 0C is left to cool
until the temperature becomes 45 0C. What is the amount of

7. If the quantity of the heat energy needed to heat up a certain 10. An electric heater which has a power of 700 W is used to heat
amount of water from 30oC to its boiling point is 2.94 x 106 J, up 2 kg of water. If the specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J
what is the mass of water? kg-1 0C-1 , what is the time taken to raise the temperature of the
[Specific heat capacity of water is 4.2 x 103 J kg-1 0C-1.] water from 28 oC to 53 oC? ( Assume that all the electrical
energy is used to heat the water)
14. When 1 g of alcohol is heated, it produces 1.5 kJ of heat energy. 17. An immersion heater which has a power of 300 W, is inserted
What is the mass of alcohol needed to heat up 2.5 kg of olive oil into a metal block. The metal block has a mass of 1.5 kg and its
from 30 0C to 90 0C. Assume that all the heat produced by the specific heat capacity is 400 J Kg-1 oC-1 . What is the increase in
alcohol is absorbed by the olive oil? temperature in every 5 s when the heater is on? Assume there is
[Specific heat capacity of olive oil = 2000 J Kg-1 oC-1] no heat loss to the surroundings during heating.
