A vessel of negligible heat capacity contains 40g ice at 0 ° C.8g of steam at 100 ° C is passed into the ice to melt it. Find the final temperature of the mixture (Latent heat of ice = 336Jg-1, Latent heat of steam = 2268Jg-1. SP. heat capacity of water = 4.2 JgC.) 

Dear student
Please find below the solution to the asked query:
Let final temperature of the mixture is θmass of steam, m=8gmass of ice, m' =40glatent heat of vapourisation of steam, L=2268J/gLatent heat of fusion of ice, L'=336J/gSpecific heat capacity of water =4.2J/gHeat given by system= Heat taken by the icemL+mCθ= m'L' +m'C'θ8×2268+8×4.2×(100-θ)=40×336+40×4.2×(θ-0)18144+3360-33.6×θ =13440 +168×θ201.6×θ =8064θ=40oC
