General Instruction:
I. All questions are compulsory.
II. Question No. 1 and 2 carry one mark each.
III. Question No. 3 to 5 carries two marks each.

Question 1: (1)
Which material is the calorimeter commonly made of?

Question 2: (1)
Define the term specific heat capacity of a substance. Give its SI unit.

Question 3: (2)
Explain briefly: Why hot water bottles are very efficient for fomentation?

Question 4: (2)
Explain why bottled soft drinks are more effectively cooled by cubes of ice than by ice water.

Question 5: (2)
Does land cool at a slower or faster rate than water? Give one reason for your answer.

Question 6: (3)
Which of the two, 1 g of ice at 0 ºC or 1 g of water at 0 ºC contains more heat? Give reason
for your answer.

Question 7: (3)
a. It takes a much longer time to boil off (change to steam) a certain quantity of water,
rather than to bring it to its boiling point from room temperature, say 25 ºC. Explain
the reason for this.
b. If, in a central heating system, steam enters a radiator pipe at 100 ºC and water
leaves the radiator pipe at 100 ºC, can this radiator pipe heat a room? Explain your
answer.
Question 8: (3)
A 30 g ice cube at 0 ºC is dropped into 200 g of water at 30 ºC. Calculate the final
temperature of water when the entire ice cube has melted. Given: Latent heat of ice = 80 cal
g-1; specific heat capacity of water = 1 cal g-1 ºC-1.

Question 9: (3)
In a laboratory experiment to measure specific heat capacity of copper, 0.02 kg of water at
70 ºC was poured into a copper calorimeter with a stirrer of mass 0.16 kg initially at 15 ºC.
After stirring the final temperature reached to 45 ºC. Specific heat of water is taken as 4200
Jkg-1ºC-1.

a. What is the quantity of heat released per kg of water per 1 ºC fall in temperature?
b. Calculate the heat energy released by water in the experiment in cooling from 70 ºC
to 45 ºC.
c. Assuming that the heat released by water is entirely used to raise the temperature of
calorimeter from 15 ºC to 45 ºC, calculate the specific heat capacity of copper.

Question 10: (5)

a. Define specific latent heat of vaporisation.
b. Draw a labelled diagram of the apparatus you would use to determine the specific latent
heat of vaporisation of steam by the method of mixture.
c. State two precautions you would take while performing the experiment with the
apparatus.
d. In an experiment to determine the specific latent heat of vaporisation of steam L, the
following measurements were taken:
Mass of calorimeter + stirrer = x kg

Mass of water = y kg

Initial temperature of water = t1ºC

Final temperature of mixture = t2ºC

Given: Specific heat capacity of calorimeter and water are S1 and S2 respectively. Express L in
terms of above data. Mass of condensity (steam condensed) = m kg.
