If 1 g of steam is mixed with 1 g of ice, then resultant temperature of the mixture is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
According to principle of calorimetry states that total heat given by a hotter body is equal to
the total heat received by colder body
i.e. heat lost by hotter body = heat gained by colder body
Heat required to melt 
of ice at 
into 
of water at 
is 80 cal.
Heat required to convert 1 g of water at 
into 1 g of water at 
Heat required to condense 
of steam
Clearly, whole of steam is not condensed. So, temperature of the mixture is 
.
