1.

As the altitude from the surface of the Earth increases, the atmospheric temperature falls. Explain.

Answer»

Solution :Mass of substance, `(m)=0.1` kg
The heat produced by COMBUSTION, (Q) = heat utilized in melting ice, `(Q_(1))`+ heat utilized in RAISING the temperature of water `(Q_(2))`
`Q_(1)=(1 kig ) (336000 J kg^(-1))=3,36,000 J.`
`Q_(2)=(1 kg) (4200 J kg^(-1)K^(-1)) (50 K) =210000 J`.
`therefore Q=546 kJ`
The calorific value of the substance
`=(Q)/(m)=(546 kJ)/(0.1 kg)`
`=5.46 MJ kg^(-1)`
