Solution

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
