Section C
- A sphere of aluminum of mass 0.047 kg placed for sufficient time in a vessel containing boiling water, so that the sphere is at 100°C.It is then immediately transferred to 0.14 Kg copper calorimeter containing 0.25 kg of water at 20°C.The temperature of water rises and attains a steady State at 23°C.
