When two objects P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of Q. The ratio of the specific heat capacity of P to Q is

A.

1 : 4

B.

4 : 1

C.

1 : 1

D.

2 : 1

Correct answer is C

\(\theta\)p = 2\(\theta\)q

mq = 2mp

Cp X mp X \(\theta\)p = Cq x mq x \(\theta\)q

\(\frac {C_pm_q\theta q}{C_qm_p \theta q}\) = \(\frac {\theta q \times 2mp}{2 \theta qmp}\)

\(\frac {C_p}{Cq}\) = \(\frac {2}{2}\)

A gas occupies a volume of 300cm3at a temperature of 27oC. What is its volume at 54oC, when the pressure is constant?

A.

150cm3

B.

273cm3

C.

327cm3

D.

600cm3

Correct answer is C

\(\frac{V_1}{T_1}\) = \(\frac{V_2}{T_2}\)

\(\frac{300}{27 + 273}\) = \(\frac{V_2}{54 + 273}\)

V2 = 327cm3

Mercury is suitable as a barometric fluid because it?

A.

expands uniformly

B.

is opaque

C.

is several times denser than water
