If same amount of milk and water are kept in two beakers and heated on the two burners of a gas by supplying equal amount of heat. Despite this, why is the rise in temperature of milk more than that of water?

Solution

Specific heat capacity of milk is $3.93 \times 10^{3} J / K g K$ and that of water is $4.19 \times 10^{3} J / K g K$
Because water has more specific heat capacity than that of milk, so more heat is required by water than that by milk for equal increase in temperature of both.
So, temperature of milk is more than that of water.

Specific heat capacity of milk is 3.93×103J/KgK and that of water is 4.19×103J/KgKBecause water has more specific heat capacity than that of milk, so more heat is required by water than that by milk for equal increase in temperature of both.So, temperature of milk is more than that of water.
