Change of state
Question

Stream at 1000C is passed into 1.1 kg of water contained in a calorimeter of water equivalent 0.02 kg at 150C till the temperature of the calorimeter and its content rises to 800C. The mass of the steam condensed in kg is

Moderate
Solution

Heat is lost by steam in two stages (i) for change of state from steam at 1000C to water at 1000C is m×540(ii) to change in water at 1000C 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 = 560 m cal

Heat gained by calorimeter and its contents = (1.1+0.02)×(80-15) = 1.12 ×65 cal

Using principle of calorimetry,

Heat gained = heat lost

      560 m = 1.12 ×65

         m = 0.130 gm
