Two identical bodies are made of a material for which the heat capacity increases with temperature. One of these is at 100oC{100}^{o}C, while the other one is at 0oC{0}^{o}C. If the two bodies are brought into contact, then assuming no heat loss, the final common temperature is

Options

  1. A50oC50{}^{o}C
  2. B>50oC> 50{}^{o}C
  3. C<50oC< 50{}^{o}C but >0oC> 0{}^{o}C
  4. D0oC0{}^{o}C

Correct answer

B. >50oC> 50{}^{o}C

Step-by-step solution

Loss of heat by the hot body = gain of heat by the cold body.

Since, the heat capacity increases with temperature, the hotter body will lose more energy when its temperature falls down from 100oC100{}^{o}C to 50oC50{}^{o}C compared to the energy required by the cold body to raise its temperature from 0oC0{}^{o}C to 50oC50{}^{o}C. Thus, the temperature will be more than 50oC50{}^{o}C.
