Steam at is passed into of water at When water acquires a temperature of the mass of water present will be:[Take specific heat of water cal g and latent heat of steam cal g]
To solve this problem, we need to apply the principle of conservation of energy.When steam condenses and cools down, it releases heat, which is absorbed by the water.Given:• Initial mass of water g• Initial temperature of water • Final temperature of water • Specific heat of water cal g• Latent heat of steam cal gLet be the mass of steam condensed.The heat released by the steam when it condenses and cools down to is:Heat released by condensation calHeat released by cooling from to calTotal heat released by steam calThe heat absorbed by the water to raise its temperature from to is:Heat absorbed by water calBy conservation of energy, the heat released by steam equals the heat absorbed by water:Solving for gTherefore, the total mass of water present will be:Initial mass of water mass of condensed steam gThus, the mass of water present will be g, which corresponds to Option 4.
