Question

How much steam at 100 will just melt 64 gm of ice at 10C?

Open in App
Solution

We know that: Q=mL,Q=msΔθ

Given: m1=64 g,θ1=10C,s1=0.5 cal/gC,sw=1 cal/gC,θ2=100C,θ=0C,Lv=540 cal/g,Lf=80 cal/g

Let m2 be mass of steam required.
Heat lost by steam to reach 0C will be absorbed by ice during 10C to water at 0C,

m2Lv+m2sw(1000)=m1×s1[0(10)]+m1×Lf

m2×540+m2×1×100=64×0.5×10+64×80

640m2=64×85

m2=8.5 g

Final answer: 8.5 g
