If there are no heat losses, the heat released by the condensation of $x$ gm of steam at $100^o C$ into water at $100^o C$ can be used to convert $y$ gm of ice at $0^o C$ into water at $100^o C$. Then the ratio $y : x$ is nearly
A
$1:1$
B
$2.5 : 1$
C
$2:1$
D
$3:1$
Solution
(d) Heat released to convert $x$ gm of steam at $100°C$ to water at $100°C$ is $x \times 540 \,cals.$
If y gm of ice is converted from $0°C$ to water at $100°C$ it requires heat $y \times 80 + y \times 1 \times 100 = 180 y$
$\therefore x \times 540 = 180\,y$ or $\frac{y}{x} = \frac{{540}}{{180}} = \frac{3}{1}$
