Q.

The specific heat capacity of a substance is temperature dependent and is given by the formula C=kT, where k is a constant of suitable dimensions in SI units, and T is the absolute temperature. If the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of the substance from -73°C to 27°C is nk, the value of n is _____.   [Given: 0 K=-273°C.]                            [2024]


Ans.

(25000)

Given, mass m=1 kg,

Ti=-73°C=200 K

Tf=27°C=300 K

Q=mc dT=1·kT dT

Q=∫2003001·kT dT=k∫200300T dT

=k2[T2]200300=k2[3002-2002]=25000 K

Hence n=25000
