Question

2 g steam at 100C is mixed with 5 g ice at 40C in an ideal calorimeter. The final temperature (in C) of the system is
(Lv=500 cal/g,sice=0.5 cal/gC,sw=1 cal/gC,Lf=80 cal/g)

Open in App
Solution

We know that: Q=mL,Q=msΔθ

Given: m1=2 g, θ1=100C, m2=5 g, θ2=40C, Lv=500 cal/g, sice=0.5 cal/gC, sw=1 cal/gC, Lf=80 cal/g

Heat given by steam in converting into water is

Q1=m1Lv

=2×500

=1000 cal (i)

Heat taken by ice to convert to water at 100C fully is

Q2=m2sice(0(40))+m2Lf+m2sw(1000)

Q2=(5×40×0.5)+(5×80)+(5×100×1)

Q2=1000 cal

As Q1=Q2

So, steam and water both are at 100C.

Final answer: 100C.
