are:

1. Mass of the body

2. Temperature of the body.

Question 17

Name three factors on which the heat energy absorbed by a body depends and
state how does it depend on them.

Answer

Three factors on which the heat energy absorbed by a body depends are:

1. Mass of the body — Heat energy absorbed by a body is directly

proportional to the mass of the body i.e., Q ∝ m.

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/class-10-icse-concise-physics-selina/solutions/yRD1P/calorimetry 5/70
7/7/23, 4:57 AM Chapter 11: Calorimetry | Selina Solutions Concise Physics Class 10 ICSE | KnowledgeBoat

2. Increase in temperature of the body — Heat energy absorbed is directly

proportional to the rise in temperature i.e., Q ∝ △t.
3. The material of the body — Heat energy absorbed by a body depends on
the substance of the object which is expressed in terms of it's specific heat
capacity c i.e., Q ∝ c.

Question 18

Write the expression for the heat energy Q received by m kg of a substance of

specific heat capacity c J kg-1 K-1 when it is heated through △t° C.

Answer

The expression for the heat energy Q is given by:

Q = m x c x △t joules,

where, c is specific heat capacity

m is mass of substance

△t is change in temperature

Question 19

Same amount of heat is supplied to two liquids A and B. The liquid A shows a
greater rise in temperature. What can you say about the heat capacity of A as
compared to that of B?

Answer

As the substance having low specific heat capacity will show a rapid and high
rise in temperature and since liquid A shows a greater rise in temperature as
compared to B when same amount of heat is supplied to both. Hence, heat
capacity of liquid A is less than that of B.

Question 20

Question 21

What is the principle of method of mixture ? What other name is given to it?
Name the law on which this principle is based.

Answer

Heat energy lost by the hot body = Heat energy gained by the cold body.
This is called the principle of method of mixture.

The other name given to it is the principle of calorimetry.

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/class-10-icse-concise-physics-selina/solutions/yRD1P/calorimetry 7/70
7/7/23, 4:57 AM Chapter 11: Calorimetry | Selina Solutions Concise Physics Class 10 ICSE | KnowledgeBoat

This principle is based on the law of conservation of energy.

Question 22

A mass m1 of a substance of specific heat capacity c1 at temperature t1 is

mixed with a mass m2 of other substance of specific heat capacity c2 at a lower
temperature t2. Deduce the expression for the temperature t of the mixture.
State the assumption made, if any.

Answer

Let a substance A of mass m1, specific heat capacity c1 at temperature t1 is

mixed with another substance B of mass m2, specific heat capacity c2 at a
lower temperature t2.

If the final temperature of the mixture becomes t, then

Fall in temperature of substance A = t1 – t

Rise in temperature of substance B = t – t2

Heat energy lost by A = m1 × c1 × fall in temperature

= m1c1 (t1 – t)

Heat energy gained by B = m2 × c2 × rise in temperature

= m2c2 (t – t2)

If no heat energy is lost in the surrounding, then by the principle of mixtures,

Heat energy lost by A = Heat energy gained by B

m1c1 (t1 – t) = m2c2 (t – t2)

m1 c1 t1 - m1c1 t = m2 c2 t - m2 c2 t2

m1c1 t1 + m2c2 t2 = m1c1 t + m2c2 t

m1c1 t1 + m2c2 t2 = t (m1c1 + m2c2)

Therefore,

m1 c1 t1 + m2 c2 t2
t=
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

m1 c1 + m2 c2
​

​ ​ ​ ​

The assumption made here is that there is no loss of heat energy.

Question 23

Why do the farmers fill their fields with water on a cold winter night?

Answer

On a cold winter night, if the atmospheric temperature falls below 0° C, water in

the fine capillaries of plants will freeze, so the veins will burst due to the
increase in volume of water on freezing. As a result, plants will die and the crop
will get destroyed. In order to save crop on such cold nights, farmers fill their
fields with water because water has a high specific heat capacity, so it does not
allow the temperature in the surrounding area of plants to fall up to 0° C.

Question 24

Discuss the role of high specific heat capacity of water with reference to climate
in coastal areas.

Answer

The specific heat capacity of water is very high. It is about five times as high as
that of sand. Hence, the heat energy required for the same rise in temperature
by a certain mass of water will be nearly five times than that required by the
same mass of sand. Similarly, a certain mass of water will impart nearly five
times more heat energy than that given by the same mass of sand for the same
fall in temperature.

As such sand (or earth) gets heated or cooled more rapidly as compared to
water under the similar conditions (exposure to the Sun). Thus, near the sea
shore, there becomes a large difference in temperature between the land and
sea due to which convection currents are set up. The cold air from the land
blows towards the sea during the night (i.e., land breeze) and during the day
cold air blows from the sea towards the land (i.e., sea breeze). These breezes
near the sea makes the climate in coastal areas moderate.

Question 25

Water is used in hot water bottles for fomentation. Give reason.

Answer

Hot water bottles are used for fomentation because water does not cool quickly
due to it's high specific heat capacity, so a hot water bottle provides more heat
energy for fomentation over a longer period. Hence, water is used in hot water
bottles for fomentation.

Question 26

What property of water makes it an effective coolant?

Answer

Water is an effective coolant. By allowing water to flow in pipes around the

heated parts of a machine, heat energy from such parts is removed. Water in
pipes can extract more heat from the surroundings without much rise in it's
temperature because of it's high specific heat capacity. This is why radiators in
car and generator use water for cooling.

Question 27

Give one example each where high specific heat capacity of water is used (i)
as coolant, (ii) as heat reservoir.

Answer

(i) Used as a coolant — Radiators in car and generator use water for cooling.
Water in car radiator can absorb more heat without much rise in temperature
due to it's high specific heat capacity. Hence, in acts as an effective coolant.

(ii) Used as heat reservoir — In cold countries, water is used as heat reservoir
for wine and juice bottles to avoid their freezing. The reason is that water due
to it's high specific heat capacity can impart a large amount of heat before
reaching to it's freezing point. Hence, bottles kept in water remain warm and do
not freeze when there is considerable fall in temperature.

Question 28

A liquid X has specific heat capacity higher than the liquid Y. Which liquid is
useful as (i) coolant in car radiators and, (ii) heat reservoir to keep juice bottles
without freezing?

Answer

(i) Coolant in car radiators — Liquid X is used as a coolant in car radiators

because liquid X has specific heat capacity higher than the liquid Y, hence it will
absorb more heat energy without much change in temperature.

(ii) Heat reservoir to keep juice bottles without freezing — The liquid needs
to give out large amount of heat before reaching freezing temperatures and as
liquid X has specific heat capacity higher than the liquid Y, hence liquid X will
be used.

Question 29

(a) What is calorimeter?

(b) Name the material of which it is made of. Give two reasons for using the
material stated by you.

(c) Out of the three metals A, B and C of specific heat 900 J kg-1 °C-1 , 380 J
kg-1 °C-1 and 460 J kg-1 °C-1 respectively, which will you prefer for calorimeter?
Given reason.

(d) How is the loss of heat due to radiation minimized in a calorimeter?

Answer

(a) A calorimeter is a cylindrical vessel which is used to measure the amount of

heat gained (or lost) by a body when it is mixed with the other body.

(b) It is made up of a thin sheet of copper. The reasons for using copper are:

1. Copper is a good conductor of heat, so the vessel soon acquires the

temperature of it's contents.
2. Copper has the low specific heat capacity so the heat capacity of
calorimeter is low and the amount of heat energy taken by the calorimeter
from the contents to acquire it's temperature, is very small.

7/7/23, 4:57 AM Chapter 11: Calorimetry | Selina Solutions Concise Physics Class 10 ICSE | KnowledgeBoat

(c) Heat capacity of the calorimeter should be low. Hence, B should be

preferred for making the calorimeter.

(d) The outer and inner surfaces of the vessel should be polished so as to
reduce the loss of heat due to radiation in a calorimeter.

Question 30

Why the base of a cooking pan made thick and heavy?

Answer

The base of a cooking pan is made thick and heavy because it's heat capacity
becomes large due to which it gets heated slowly and it imparts sufficient heat
energy at a slow rate to the food for it's proper cooking and after cooking it
keeps the food warm for a long time.

Answer

(a) Given,

mass (m) = 150 g = 0.15 kg

specific heat capacity (c) = 410 J kg-1 K-1

We know that,

Heat capacity (C') = Mass (m) × specific heat capacity (c)

Answer

Given,

Power of heater (P) = 500 W

mass of material (m) = 50 kg

Specific heat capacity of material (c) = 960 J kg-1 K-1

Change in temperature △t = (38 – 18)°C = 20° C = 20 K

From relation,

Q = mc△t

Substituting the values in the formula above we get,

Q = 50 × 960 × 20

squash to 5°C ? Specific heat capacity of squash = 4200 J kg-1 K-1.

Answer

Given,

mass (m) = 0.5 kg

Change in temperature = (30 – 5)°C = 25° C = 25 K

Specific heat capacity of squash (c) = 4200 J kg-1 K-1

From relation,

Q = m × c × △T

Substituting the values in the formula above we get,

Q = 0.5 × 4200 × 25
⇒ Q = 52, 500J

Let time taken to remove 52500 J of heat be t.

Now it is given that,

30 J of heat is removed in 1 sec

So, 52500 J of heat ⇒ t = ?

Question 9

A mass of 50 g of a certain metal at 150°C is immersed in 100 g of water at

11°C. The final temperature is 20°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the
metal. Assume that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.2 J g-1 K-1.

Answer

Given,

Mass of metal (m) = 50 g

Fall in temperature of metal = (150 – 20) = 130°C

Rise in temperature of water = (20 - 11) = 9°C

Heat energy given by metal = mc△t

= 50 x c x 130
= 6500 x c [Equation 1]

Heat energy taken by water = 100 × 4.2 × 9

= 3780 [Equation 2]

Assuming that there is no loss of heat energy,

Heat energy given by metal = Heat energy taken by water.

Equating equations 1 & 2, we get,

6500 × c = 3780
3780
c=
6500
​

c = 0.582 J g−1 K−1

Hence, specific heat capacity of the metal = 0.582 J g-1 K-1

Question 10

45 g of water at 50°C in a beaker is cooled when 50 g of copper at 18°C is

added to it. The contents are stirred till a final constant temperature is reached.
Calculate the final temperature. The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.39 J
g-1 K-1 and that of water is 4.2 J g-1 K-1. State the assumptions used.

Answer

Given,

Mass of water = 45 g

Let the final constant temperature reached be t°C

Fall in temperature of water = (50 – t)°C

Mass of copper = 50 g

Rise in temperature of copper = (t - 18)°C

The specific heat capacity of the copper cc = 0.39 J g-1 K-1

The specific heat capacity of water cw = 4.2 J g-1 K-1

Heat energy given by water = mc△t

= 45 x 4.2 x (50 – t) [Equation 1]

Heat energy taken by copper = 50 x 0.39 x (t - 18) [Equation 2]

Assuming that there is no loss of heat energy

Heat energy given by water = Heat energy taken by copper

Equating equations 1 & 2, we get,

45 × 4.2 × (50 − t) = 50 × 0.39 × (t − 18)

⇒ 189 × (50 − t) = 19.5 × (t − 18)
⇒ (189 × 50) − (189 × t) = (19.5 × t) − (19.5 × 18)
⇒ (9450) − (189 × t)] = (19.5 × t) − (351)
⇒ 9450 + 351 = (19.5t) + (189t)

Question 11

200 g of hot water at 80°C is added to 300 g of cold water at 10°C. Neglecting
the heat taken by the container, calculate the final temperature of the mixture of
water. Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg-1 K-1.

Answer

Mass of hot water = 200 g

Temperature of hot water = 80° C

Mass of cold water = 300 g

Temperature of cold water = 10° C

Let final temperature be t

Fall in temperature of hot water = (80 – t)°C

Rise in temperature of cold water = (t - 10)°C

The specific heat capacity of water cw = 4200 J kg-1 K-1 = 4.2 J g-1 K-1

Heat energy given by hot water = mc△t

= 200 x 4.2 x (80 – t) [Equation 1]

Heat energy taken by cold water = 300 x 4.2 x (t - 10) [Equation 2]

Assuming that there is no loss of heat energy,

Heat energy given by hot water = Heat energy taken by cold water

Equating equations 1 & 2, we get,

200 × 4.2 × (80 − t) = 300 × 4.2 × (t − 10)

160 + 30 = 3t + 2t

​

⇒ t = 38°C

Hence, final temperature = 38°C

Question 12

The temperature of 600 g of cold water rises by 15°C when 300 g of hot water
at 50°C is added to it. What was the initial temperature of the cold water?

Answer

Given,

Mass of cold water = 600 g

Mass of hot water = 300 g

Temperature of hot water = 50° C

Let initial temperature of cold water be ti

Let the final temperature be t

Gain in temperature of cold water = (t - ti) = 15° C

Loss of heat from hot water = (50 - t)

Heat energy given by hot water = mc△t

= 300 x 4.2 x (50 – t) [Equation 1]

Heat energy taken by cold water = 600 x 4.2 x (t - ti) [Equation 2]

Assuming that there is no loss of heat energy

Heat energy given by hot water = heat energy taken by cold water

Equating equations 1 & 2, we get,

300 × 4.2 × (50 − t) = 600 × 4.2 × 15

⇒ 3 × (50 − t) = 6 × 15
⇒ 50 − t = 2 × 15
⇒ 50 − t = 30
⇒ t = 50 − 30 = 20°C

final temperature (t) = 20°C

initial temperature = ?

We know,

t - ti = 15

20 - ti = 15

Therefore, ti = 20 - 15 = 5° C

Hence, initial temperature = 5° C

Question 13

7/7/23, 4:57 AM Chapter 11: Calorimetry | Selina Solutions Concise Physics Class 10 ICSE | KnowledgeBoat

Explanation: During the change in phase of the substance at a constant

temperature on heating, the heat supplied is utilized in increasing the
separation against the attractive forces between the molecules. This increases
the potential energy of the molecules.
As the temperature of the substance remains constant, the average kinetic
energy of the molecules does not change. The heat energy supplied during
melting is utilised only in increasing the potential energy of the molecules and
is called the latent heat of melting.

Question 5

State the effect of presence of impurity on the melting point of ice. Give one

The melting point of a substance decreases by the presence of impurities in it.

The melting point of ice decreases from 0 ° C to -22 ° C on mixing salt to it in
proper proportion. This fact is utilized in making the freezing mixture by adding
salt to ice. The freezing mixture is used in preparing 'kulfis'.

Question 6

State the effect of increase of pressure on the melting point of ice.

Answer

The melting point of the substances which contract on melting (like ice)

Question 12

What is the effect of increase in pressure on the boiling point of a liquid?

Answer

The boiling point of a liquid increases with the increase in pressure.

Question 13

Water boils at 120° C in a pressure cooker. Explain the reason.

Answer

The boiling point of liquid increases with the increase in pressure and
decreases with the decrease in pressure. The boiling point of pure water at one
atmospheric pressure is 100° C.

In a pressure cooker, steam is not allowed to escape out. The vapour pressure
on water inside the cooker becomes nearly 1.75 times the atmospheric
pressure, so water boils in it at about 120° C to 125° C due to increased
pressure.

Question 14

pressure cooker.

Answer

The water boils at about 120° C to 125° C in a pressure cooker.

Question 15

It is difficult to cook vegetables on hills and mountains. Explain the reason.

Answer

At high altitudes, such as hills and mountains, the atmospheric pressure is low
(less than one atmospheric pressure), therefore at these places, water boils at
temperature lower than 100° C and so it does not provide the required heat

(a) Which requires more heat: 1 g ice at 0° C or 1 g water at 0° C to raise it's

temperature to 10° C ?

(b) Explain your answer in part (a).

Answer

(a) 1 g ice at 0° C requires more heat to raise it's temperature to 10° C.

(b) 1 g ice at 0° C requires more heat to raise it's temperature to 10° C because
1 g ice at 0° C first absorbs 336 J heat to convert into 1 g water at 0° C and
then the water absorbs heat to raise it's temperature from 0° to 10° C.

Question 24

Ice cream appears colder to the mouth than water at 0° C. Give reasons.

Answer

Ice cream absorbs heat energy as well as the latent heat while water absorbs
only heat energy. Therefore, ice cream absorbs more amount of energy from
the mouth as compared to water. Hence, ice cream appears colder to the
mouth than water at 0° C.

Question 25

The soft drink bottles are cooled by (i) ice cubes at 0° C, and (ii) iced-water at
0° C. Which will cool the drink quickly? Give reason.

Answer

Ice cubes at 0°C will cool the soft drink bottles more quickly than iced-water at
0°C.

1 g of ice at 0° C takes 336 J of heat energy from the drink to melt into water at
0° C. Thus, the drink liberates an additional 336 J of heat energy to 1 g ice at
0° C than to 1 g ice-cold water at 0° C. Therefore, cooling produced by 1 g ice
at 0° C is much more than that by 1 g water at 0° C.

It is generally cold after a hail storm than during and before the hail storm. Give
reasons.

Answer

It is generally cold after a hail storm than during and before it because after the
hail storm, ice absorbs the heat energy required for it's melting from the
surroundings, so the temperature of the surrounding falls further down and we
feel more cold.

Question 27

The temperature of surroundings starts falling when ice in a frozen lake starts
melting. Give reasons.

Answer

The temperature of surroundings starts falling when ice in a frozen lake starts
melting because quite a large amount of heat energy is required for melting the
frozen lake which is absorbed from the surrounding atmosphere. As a result,
the temperature of the surrounding falls and it becomes very cold.

Question 28

Water in lakes and ponds do not freeze at once in cold countries. Give reason.

Answer

Water in lakes and ponds do not freeze at once in cold countries because the
specific latent heat of fusion of ice is sufficiently high (= 336 J g-1). The water in
lakes and ponds will have to liberate a large quantity of heat to the surrounding
before freezing. The layer of ice formed over the water surface, being a poor
conductor of heat, will also prevent the loss of heat from the water of lake,
hence the water does not freeze all at once.

Question 29

(a) The surroundings become pleasantly warm when water in a lake starts
freezing in cold countries.

(b) The heat supplied to a substance during it's change of state, does not
cause any rise in it's temperature.

Answer

(a) The surroundings become pleasantly warm when water in a lake starts
freezing in cold countries because the specific latent heat of fusion of ice is
very high, hence large quantity of heat is released when the water in the lake
freezes. Therefore, the temperature of the surrounding becomes pleasantly
warm.

(b) During the change in phase of the substance at a constant temperature on

heating, the heat supplied is utilized in increasing the separation against the
attractive forces between the molecules. This increases the potential energy of
the molecules.
The average kinetic energy of the molecules does not change. Hence, the
temperature of the substance remains constant. The heat energy supplied
during melting is utilised only in increasing the potential energy of the
molecules and is called the latent heat of melting.

(b) Specific heat capacity of metal is 200 J kg-1 K-1

Change in temperature
= 800 – (-50) = 800 + 50 = 850° C = 850 K

From relation,

Q = m x c x change in temperature

Substituting the values we get,

Q = 0.15 × 200 × 850

Q = 25, 500J

Hence, specific latent heat of fusion of the metal = 1.6 x 105 J kg-1

Question 5

A refrigerator converts 100 g of water at 20° C to ice at -10° C in 73.5 min.

Calculate the average rate of heat extraction in watt. The specific heat capacity
of water is 4.2 J g-1 K-1 , specific latent heat of ice is 336 J g-1 and the specific
heat capacity of ice is 2.1 J g-1 K-1.

Answer

Given,

mass (m) = 100 g

time (t) = 73.5 min

specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J g-1 K-1

specific latent heat of ice = 336 J g-1

specific heat capacity of ice = 2.1 J g-1 K-1

Heat energy released by water in fall of it's temperature from 20° to 0° C (Q1)
= mass x specific heat capacity x fall in temperature
= 100 × 4.2 x (20 - 0)

Heat energy released when ice cools from 0° C to -10° C (Q3) = m x c x change
in temperature
= 100 × 2.1 x [0 - (-10)]
= 100 x 2.1 x 10
= 2100 J

Hence,

Total heat energy = Q1 + Q2 + Q3

= 8400 + 33600 + 2100

Question 6

In an experiment, 17 g of ice is used to bring down the temperature of 40 g of

water at 34° C to it's freezing temperature. The specific heat capacity of water
is 4.2 J g-1 K-1. Calculate the specific latent heat of ice. State one important
assumption made in the above calculation.

Answer

7/7/23, 4:57 AM Chapter 11: Calorimetry | Selina Solutions Concise Physics Class 10 ICSE | KnowledgeBoat

Mass of ice (m1) = 17 g

Mass of water (m2) = 40 g

Change in temperature = 34 – 0 = 34° C = 34 K

Specific heat capacity of water (c) = 4.2 J g-1 K-1

specific latent heat of ice = ?

Assuming that no heat energy is lost,

heat energy required by ice to melt = heat energy given by water

So,

m1 x L = m2 x c x change in temperature

Substituting the values in the relation above we get,

17 × L = 40 × 4.2 × 34
17 × L = 5712
5712
⇒L=
17
​

⇒ L = 336 J g−1

Hence, specific latent heat of ice = 336 J g-1

Assumption — There is no loss of energy.

Question 7

The temperature of 170 g of water at 50° C is lowered to 5° C by adding certain

amount of ice to it. Find the mass of ice added. Given : specific heat capacity of

Answer

Given,

mw = 170 g = 0.17 kg

specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg-1 K-1

specific latent heat of ice = 336000 J kg-1

mi = ?

Heat energy given out by water in lowering it's temperature from 50° C to 5° C
= m x c x change in temperature
= 0.17 x 4200 x (50 - 5)
= 0.17 x 4200 x 45
= 32,130

Heat energy taken by m kg ice to melt into water at 0° C

= mi x L
= mi x 336000

Heat energy taken by water at 0° C to raise it's temperature to 5° C

= mi x c x change in temperature
= mi x 4200 x (5 - 0)
= mi x 4200 x 5
= mi x 21000

heat energy released = heat energy taken

Substituting the values we get,

32130 = (mi × 336000) + (mi × 21000)

​ ​

32130 = mi × 357000 ​

32130
⇒ mi =

1, and specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J g-1 K-1.

Answer

Given,

mass of ice = 10 g

mass of water = 10 g

Specific heat capacity of ice = 2.1 J g-1 K-1

specific latent heat of ice = 336 J g-1,

specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J g-1 K-1

Let the final temperature be t° C.

Heat energy taken by ice at – 10° C to raise it's temperature to 0° C (Q1)

= m x c x change in temperature
= 10 x 2.1 x [0 - (-10)]
= 10 x 2.1 x 10

Hence, Q1 = 210 J

Heat energy taken by ice at 0° C to convert into water at 0° C (Q2)

= m x Lice
= 10 × 336
= 3360 J

Hence, Q2 = 3360 J

Heat energy taken by water at 0° C to raise it's temperature to t° C (Q3) = m x c

x change in temperature

Hence, Q4 = 420 – 42t

If there is no loss of heat,

Heat energy gained = Heat energy lost

​

t = −37.5°C

This cannot be true because water cannot exist at -37.5° C.

Hence, we can say that the whole of the ice did not melt.

Let amount of ice which melts = m g

Final temperature of the mixture = 0° C

⇒ 336m = 420 − 210
⇒ 336m = 210

= 4,20,000 J

Total heat energy gained

= 21,000 + L + 4,20,000 = 4,41,000 + L

As,

4,41,000 + L = 7,77,000
L = 7,77,000 – 4,41,000
L = 3,36,000 J kg-1

Hence, specific latent heat of ice = 3,36,000 J kg-1

Question 15

200 g of ice at 0° C converts into water at 0° C in 1 minute when heat is

supplied to it at a constant rate. In how much time, 200 g of water at 0° C will
change to 20° C? Take specific latent heat of ice = 336 J g-1.

Answer

Given,

mi = 200 g

mw = 200 g

Time for ice to melt (t1) = 1 min = 60 s

Change in temperature of water (Δt) = 20° C

specific latent heat of ice = 336 J g-1

Rate of heat exchange is constant.

Therefore, power required for converting ice to water = power required to

increase the temperature of water.

​ ​

⇒ t2 = 15s ​

Hence, time taken = 15 s
