detailed solution

Correct option is A

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) Heatgained by calorimeter and its contents is=(1.1+0.02)×(80−15)=1.12×65 cals using Principle of calorimetery, Heat gained = heat lost∴560m=1.12×65 ⇒m=0.130gm

A calorimeter of water equivalent 10 g contains a liquid of mass 50 g at 40oC. When m gram of ice at -10oC is put into the calorimeter and the mixture is allowed to attain equilibrium, the final temperature was found to be 20oC. It is known that specific heat capacity of the liquid changes with temperature as S=1+θ500 cal g1C1where θ is temperature in oC. The specific heat capacity of ice, water and the calorimeter remains constant and values are Sice =0.5 cal g1C1Swater =1.0 cal g1C1 and latent heat of fusion of ice is Lf=80calg1. Assume no heat loss to the surrounding and calculate the value of m in grams.
