Solution

The correct option is B 100 C
Given:
Mass of steam, ms=5 g
Initial temperature of steam, Ts=100 C
Latent heat of steam, Ls=540 cal/g
Mass of ice, mi=6 g
Initial temperature of ice, Ti=0 C
Latent heat of ice, Li=80 cal/g
Specific capacity of water, sw=1 cal/g C
To find:
Final temperature of mixture, T=?

Heat required for ice to melt is mL=6×80=480 cal
Heat required to rise the temperature of water from 0C to 100C is msΔT=6(1)(100)=600 cal

Total heat required to convert ice at 0C to water at 100C is 1080 cal

Let mass of steam condensed in this process be m
mLv=1080 cal
m=2 g

Hence final mixture consists of 3 g of steam at 100 C and 8 g of water at 100 C
Hence, final temperature of mixture is 100 C
