Calorimetry PrincipleEasyQuestion 30844

Question

The principle of calorimetry states:
  1. A
    Total heat is always conserved
  2. B
    Heat lost = heat gained in an isolated system
    Correct
  3. C
    Temperature always equalises
  4. D
    Entropy always increases

Correct answer

Heat lost = heat gained in an isolated system

Explanation

In an isolated thermal system, total heat exchange is zero — heat lost by hot body equals heat gained by cold body.
