    1 g of steam at \[\text{100}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C}\]and equal mass of ice  at \[\text{0}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C}\]are mixed. The temperature of the mixture in steady state will be (latent heat of steam \[\text{= 540}\,\text{cal/g,}\] latent heat of \[\text{ice}\,\text{=}\,\text{80}\,\text{cal/g}\]) :

    A) \[50{{\,}^{o}}C\]         

    B) \[100{{\,}^{o}}C\]

    C)  \[67{{\,}^{o}}C\]         

    D) \[33{{\,}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Heat taken by ice to raise its temperature to \[\text{100}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C}\]is \[Q=mL+mc\Delta \theta \] where L is latent heat, c is specific heat, and\[\Delta \theta \] is temperature variation. Given, \[m=1\,g,L=80\,cal/g,\] \[c=1\,cal/g,\,\Delta \theta =100{{\,}^{o}}C\] \[{{Q}_{1}}=1\times 80+1\times 1\times 100=180\,\text{cal}\] Heat given by steam when condensed is \[{{Q}_{2}}={{m}_{2}}{{L}_{2}}=1\times 540=540\,\text{cal}\] As \[{{\text{Q}}_{\text{2}}}\text{}\,{{\text{Q}}_{\text{1}}}\text{,}\]hence temperature of mixture will remain \[\text{100}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C}\text{.}\]
