Solution

The correct option is A

0.130


Heat is lost by steam in two stages (i) for change of state from steam at 100C to water at 100C is m × 540
(ii) to change water at 100C to water at 80C is
m × 1 × (100 - 80), where m is the mass of steam condensed.

Total heat lost by steam is m × 540 + m × 20 = 560 m (cals) Heat gained by calorimeter and its contents is

= (1.1 + 0.02) × (80 - 15) = 1.12 × 65 cals.

using Principle of calorimetery, Heat gained = heat lost

\ 560 m = 1.12 × 65, m = 0.130 gm
