When 100 g of boiling water at 100$$^\circ $$
C is added into a calorimeter containing 300 g of cold water at 10$$^\circ $$
C, temperature of the mixture becomes 20$$^\circ $$
C. Then, a metallic block of mass 1 kg at 10$$^\circ $$
C is dipped into the mixture in the calorimeter. After reaching thermal equilibrium, the final temperature becomes 19$$^\circ $$
C. What is the specific heat of the metal in CGS unit?
- A0.01
- B0.3
- C0.09
- D0.1
