10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
medium

$500\, g$ of water and $100\, g$ of ice at $0\,^oC$ are in a calorimeter whose water equivalent is $40\, g$. $10\, g$ of steam at $100\,^oC$ is added to it. Then water in the calorimeter is ....... $g$ (Latent heat of ice $\,= 80\, cal/g$, Latent heat of steam $\,= 540\, cal/ g$)

A

$580$

B

$590$

C

$600$

D

$610$

Solution

As $1\, g$ of steam at $100\,^oC$ melts $8\,g$ of ice at $0\,^oC$. $10\, g$ of steam will melt $8\times10\, g$ of ice at $0\,^oC$ Water in calorimeter $\,= 500 + 80 + 10\,g\, = 590\,g$
