The mass of steam at 100째C is to be passedinto water of mass 100 g at 20째C to rise itstemperature by 5째C is

Answer»

Let m be the amount of heat converted into water. If L is the latent heat capacity of steam, then

Heat lost by steam = Heat gained by water

(m * Latent heat of steam) + (m * Latent heat of water * dt) = (mass of water * specific heat capacity of water * change in temperature of water)

mL + m * 1 * (100 – 20) = 100g * Latent heat of water (which is 1) * 5

540m + 80 m = 500

m * 620= 500

m = 500/620 = 0.81 g

Hence, net mass of water = 100 + 0.81 = 100.81 g
