Practicing Success
Steam at 100° C is passed into 20 g of water at 10°C. When water acquires a temperature of 80°C, the mass of water present will be: [Take specific heat of water = 1 cal g1 °C-1 and latent heat of steam = 540 cal g-1] |
24 g 31.5 g 42.5 g 22.5 g |
22.5 g |
According to the principle of calorimetry mLvaporization + msw\(\Delta T\) = mwsw\(\Delta T\) m×540 + m×1×(100-80)= 20×1×(80-10) m = 2.5 g Total mass of water= 20 g + 2.5 g = 22.5 g |
