An experiment takes $10\, minutes$ to raise the temperature of water in a container from $0\,^oC$ to $100\,^oC$ and another $55\, minutes$ to convert it totally into steam by a heater supplying heat at a uniform rate . Neglecting the specific heat of the container and taking specific heat of water to be $1\, cal / g\,^oC$, the heat of vapourization according to this experiment will come out to be ........ $cal/g$

In an industrial process $10\, kg$ of water per hour is to be heated from $20^o C$ to $80^o C$ . To do this steam at $200^o C$ is passed from a boiler into a copper coil immersed in water. The steam condenses in the coil and is returned to the boiler as water at $90^o C$. How many kg of steam is required per hour. (Specific heat of steam $= 0.5\, cal/g^o C$, Latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 cal/g)$

One kilogram of ice at $0°C$ is mixed with one kilogram of water at $80°C.$ The final temperature of the mixture is........ $^oC$

$($Take : specific heat of water$ = 4200\,J\,k{g^{ - 1}}\,{K^{ - 1}}$, latent heat of ice $ = 336\,kJ\,k{g^{ - 1}})$
