Heat is lost by steam in two stages (i) for change of state from steam at 1000C to water, (ii) to water at 800C is m×1×(100-80), where m is the mass of steam condensed.Total heat lost by steam = m × 540 + m×20 = 560m cal Heat gained by calorimeter and its contents = (1.1 + 0.02) ×(80-15) = 1.12 ×65 calUsing principle of calorimetryHeat gained = heat lost560 m = 1.12 × 65m = 0.130 gm
