1.	Milk and water of equal mass are taken in two similar vessels at room temperature. Both of them are to be heated from the room temperature to a certain higher temperature. Which will take less heat and why?
Answer» Solution :Let mass of milk = m = mass of WATER Increase in temperature of milk = t = increase in temperature TRUE of water Let specific heats of milk and water be `s_(m) and s_(w)`. Heat absorbed by milk, `H_(m)=ms_(m)t` Heat absorbed by water, `H_(w)=ms_(w)t` `because""s_(m) LT s_(w),""H_(m)lt H_(w)` So, less heat is REQUIRED to warm milk.
