Question

M germs of steam at 100C is mixed with 200 g of ice at its melting point in a thermally insulated container. If it produces liquid water at 40C [heat of vaporization of water is 540 cal/g and heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal/g], the value of M(in g) is .

Solution

Using the principal of calorimetry,

Heat gained by the ice to become water at 40C is equal to heat lost by the steam to become water at 40C

miceLf+mice(400)Cw=mstreamLv+mstream(10040)Cw

(200×80)+(200×1×40)=M(540)+M×1×(10040)

600M=24000

M=40 g

Hence, 40 is the correct answer.
