Steam at $100\,^oC$ is passed into $20\, g$ of water at $10\,^oC$. When water acquires a temperature of $80\,^oC$, the mass of water present will be ........ $g$

[Take specific heat of water $= 1\, cal\, g^{-1}\,^oC^{-1}$ and latent heat of steam $= 540\, cal\, g^{-1}$]

A

$24$

B

$31.5$

C

$42.5$

D

$22.5$

Solution

Heat lost $=$ Heat gained

$\mathrm{mLv}+\mathrm{ms}_{\mathrm{w}} \Delta \theta=\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{W}} \mathrm{s}_{\mathrm{w}} \Delta \theta$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{m} \times 540+\mathrm{m} \times 1 \times(100-80)$

$=20 \times 1 \times(80-10)$

$\Rightarrow m=2.5 \mathrm{g}$

Total mass of water $=(20+2.5) g=22.5 g$
