Chapter-Heat and Thermodynamics
1.Steam at 100 o C is passed into 1.1kg of water contained in a calorimeter of water equivalent 0.02kg at 15 o C till the temperature of the calorimeter rises to 80 0 C . The mass of steam condensed in kilogram is :
(a)0.13 (b)0.065 (c)0.260 (d)0.135
Dear Student,
Given:
Mass of water and calorimeter=(1.10+0.02)=1.12 kg
specific heat capacity of water=4.184×103 Jkg-1K-1
Now, using Q=mcΔT
heat gained by calorimeter and water,
Let the mass of steam=m kg
Latent heat of vaporization of water at 100°C=540 Cal/g=540×4.184×103 Jkg-1
Heat lost by steam,
now equate above two equations
