Detailed Solution

Heat is lost by steam in two stages: 

(i) for change of state from steam at 100oC to water at 100oC is m x 540
(ii) to change water at 100oC to water at 80oC is m × 1 × (100 - 80), where m is the mass of steam condensed.
Total heat lost by steam is m × 540 + m × 20 = 560m (cals) Heat
gained by calorimeter and its contents is

=(1.1+0.02)×(8015)=1.12×65 cals 

using Principle of calorimetery, Heat gained = heat lost

560m=1.12×65 m=0.130gm
