In an experiment to determine the specific latent heat of vaporization of water, steam at 1000C was passed into water contained in a well lagged copper calorimeter. The following measurements were made:
- Mass of calorimeter = 55g
- Initial mass of water = 75g
-Final mass of calorimeter + water + condensed steam = 133g
- Final temperature of the mixture = 300C.
Specific heat capacity of water = 4200J/Kg/K.
Specific heat capacity of copper = 390J/Kg/K.
Determine the:
i)Mass of condensed steam
ii)Heat gained by the calorimeter and water if the initial temperature of the calorimeter
+ water = 200C
iii)Given that L is the specific latent heat of vaporization of steam.
(I)Write an expression for the heat given out by steam.
(II)Determine the value of L.
