Question

M gram of steam at 100°C is mixed with 200 g of ice at its melting point in a thermally insulated container. If it produces liquid water at 40ºC [heat of vaporization of water is 540 cal/g and heat and heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal/ g], the value of M is_______

Moderate
Solution

Heat gain by ice = Heat loss by steamMiceLf+Mice400Cw=msteamLV+msteam10040Cw20080+401=M540+601200120=M600                    M=40g
