In an energy recycling process, X g of steam at 100°C becomes water at 100°C which converts Y g of ice at 0°C into water at 100°C. The ratio X/Y will be
Use the principle of calorimetry (Heat given by one substance = Heat taken by other substance)
We can write,
Xg(Steamat1000C)⟶Xl(Waterat00C)
And also
Ys(Iceat00C)⟶Yl(Waterat00C)⟶Yl(Waterat1000C)
Now we can write
Released energy = mLθ=540X
Required energy = mLf+msΔT=80Y+100Y=180Y
According to the principle of calorimetry
540X=180Y
Or,XY=13
Hence the required ratio is 1 : 3
