The temperature of \(100 \mathrm{~g}\) of water is to be raised from \(24^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(90^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) by adding steam at \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to it. The mass of the steam required in this process is (latent heat of steam is \(540 \mathrm{cal} \mathrm{g}^{-1}\) )

  1. A \(2 \mathrm{~g}\)
  2. B \(4 \mathrm{~g}\)
  3. C \(10 \mathrm{~g}\)
  4. D \(12 \mathrm{~g}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(12 \mathrm{~g}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(d) Apply principle of calorimetry \[ \begin{aligned} & 100 \times 1 \times(90-24)=540 m+m \times 1 \times(100-90) \\ & 6600=540 m+10 m \end{aligned} \] \(\begin{aligned} & 6600=550 \mathrm{~m} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{m}=\frac{6600}{550}=12 \mathrm{~g}\end{aligned}\)
