Question

Equal masses of two liquids are filled in two similar calorimeters. The rate of cooling will

• A. Depend on the nature of the liquids
• B. Depend on the specific heats of liquids
• C. Be same for both the liquids
• D. Depend on the mass of the liquids

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Depend on the specific heats of liquids

Answer 2

Liquid having more specific heat has slow rate of cooling because for equal masses rate of cooling $\frac{d\theta}{dt} \propto \frac{1}{c}$.
