A calorimeter of water equivalent 15 g contains 165 g of water at 25∘C. Steam at 100∘C is passed through the water for some time. The temperature is increased to 30∘C and the mass of the calorimeter and its contents is increased by 1.5 g. Calculate the specific latent heat of vaporization of water. The heat capacity of water is 1 cal g−1 ∘C−1

1.	A calorimeter of water equivalent 15 g contains 165 g of water at 25∘C. Steam at 100∘C is passed through the water for some time. The temperature is increased to 30∘C and the mass of the calorimeter and its contents is increased by 1.5 g. Calculate the specific latent heat of vaporization of water. The heat capacity of water is 1 cal g−1 ∘C−1
Answer» A calorimeter of water equivalent $15 g$ contains $165 g$ of water at $25^{\circ} C$ . Steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is passed through the water for some time. The temperature is increased to $30^{\circ} C$ and the mass of the calorimeter and its contents is increased by $1.5 g$ . Calculate the specific latent heat of vaporization of water. The heat capacity of water is $1 c a l g^{- 1}^{\circ} C^{- 1}$
