Detailed Solution

Here,  Specific heat of water, sw=1 cal g1C1

 Latent heat of steam, Ls=540 cal g1

 Heat lost by m gram of steam at 100C to change into water  at 80C is 

Q1=mLs+mswΔTw=m×540+m×1×(10080)=540m+20m=560m

 Heat gained by 20g of water to change its temperature  from 20C to 80C is 

Q2=mwswΔTw=28×1×(8020)=28×60

 According to principle of calorimetry 

 Q1=Q2 560m=28×60 or  m=3 gm

Total mass of water present 

=(28+m)g=(28+3)g=31 g
