1 kg of ice of 
is mixed with 1 kg of steam at 
. What will be the composition of the system when thermal equilibrium is reached? Latent heat of fusion of ice 
and latent heat of vaporisation of water 
.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Heat released by the steam when it converts to water at 
Heat given to ice to convert in water at 
Heat given to rise temperature 
to 
Total heat required 
Let 
mass of system is converted into water at 
by giving out this much amount of heat.
Therefore, at equilibrium, the steam will be
and water will be 
The temperature of both will be 
.
Thus, the final composition of the system,
