Solution
Verified by Toppr

The specific heat capacity, or the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a specific substance in a specific form one degree Celsius, for water is 4.187 kJ/kgK, for ice 2.108 kJ/kgK, and for water vapor (steam) 1.996 kJ/kgK.

Q5

A vessel of negligible heat capacity contains 40 g of ice in it at 0 ºC. 8 g of steam at 100 ºCis passed into the ice to melt it. Find the final temperature of contents of the vessel.

[Specific latent heat of vaporisation of steam = 2268 J/g,
Specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336 J/g,
Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g]
