NEET Physics Temperature & Heat MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 11

Consider a diagram of a calorimeter experiment where an aluminum sphere is placed in water. If the specific heat capacity of aluminum is 900 J/kg K, which of the following represents the correct calculation for the heat lost by the aluminum sphere when its temperature decreases by 77°C?

Question diagram
A

0.047 kg × 900 J/kg K × 77°C

B

0.25 kg × 4.18 × 10³ J/kg K × 3°C

C

0.14 kg × 0.386 × 10³ J/kg K × 3°C

D

0.047 kg × 2060 J/kg K × 77°C

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The heat lost by the aluminum sphere is calculated using its mass, specific heat capacity, and temperature change: Q = m × c × ΔT, where m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
