JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 10.1, thermonetry,thermal expansion and calorimetry

\(M\) grams of steam at \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is mixed with \(200\; \mathrm{g}\) of ice at its melting point in a thermally insulated container. If it produces liquid water at \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) [heat of vaporization of water is \(540 \;cal/\mathrm{g}\) and heat of fusion of ice is \(80 \;\text { cal/g }]\) the value of \(\mathrm{M}\) is

  1. A \(35\)
  2. B \(37\)
  3. C \(40\)
  4. D \(42\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(40\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{M} \times 540+\mathrm{M}+60=200 \times 80+200 \times 1 \times(40-0)\) \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{M}=40\)
