A calorimeter of water equivalent \(20\, g\) contains \(180\, g\) of water at \(25^{\circ} C\). '\(m\)' grams of steam at \(100^{\circ} C\) is mixed in it till the temperature of the mixure is \(31^{\circ} C\). The value of \('m'\) is close to (Latent heat of water \(=540\) cal \(g ^{-1}\), specific heat of water \(=1\) cal \(g^{-1}{ }^{\circ} C ^{-1}\) )

  1. A \(2.6\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(4\)
  4. D \(3.2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{ Cal }{20 gm } \frac{ H _{2} O }{180 gm } \quad \frac{ Steam }{ m }\) \(200 \times 1 \times(31-25)\)\(= m \times 540+ m \times 1 \times(100-31)\) \(m \approx 2 \;gm\)
