If there are no heat losses, the heat released by the condensation of x gm of steam at 100°C into water at 100°C can be used to convert y gm of ice at 0°C into water at 100°C. Then the ratio y : x is nearly
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Heat released to convert x gm of steam at 100°C to water at 100°C is x × × 540 cals.
If y gm of ice is converted from 0°C to water at 100°C it requires heat y × × 80 + y × × 1 × × 100 = 180 y
