    Solution:

    Here,  Specific heat of water, sw=1 cal g1C1

     Latent heat of steam, Ls=540 cal g1

     Heat lost by mg of steam at 100C to change into water  at 80C is 

    Q1=mLs+mswΔTw=m×540+m×1×(10080)=540m+20m=560m

     Heat gained by 20g of water to change its temperature  from 10C to 80C is 

    Q2=mwswΔTw=20×1×(8010)=1400

     According to principle of calorimetry 

     Q1=Q2 560m=1400 or  m=2.5g

    Total mass of water present 

    =(20+m)g=(20+2.5)g=22.5g
