A liquid at $$30$$ºC is poured very slowly into a Calorimeter that is at temperature of $$110$$ºC. The boiling temperature of the liquid is $$80$$ºC. It is found that the first $$5gm$$ of the liquid completely evaporates. After pouring another $$80gm$$ of the liquid the equilibrium temperature is found to be $$50$$ºC. The ratio of the Latent heat of the liquid to its specific heat will be $$___$$ºC.[ Neglect the heat exchange with surrounding and assume calorimeter is open]
