Water equivalent, w = 20g
Amount of water = 180g at 25oC, m gram steam at 100oC
Final temperature, T = 31oC
Lw = 540 cal/g, sw = 1cal/goC
Heat lost by steam = Heat gained by (water+calorimeter)
Lw = 540 cal/g
m×Lv+msw×ΔT1=mwsw+mcscΔT2m×540+m×1(10031)=(180×1+20×1)(3125)540m+69m=200×6609m=1200m=1200609=1.972g
