A thermal insulated vessel contains some water at `0^(@)C`. The vessel is connected to a vaccum pump to pum out water vapour. This results in some water getting frozen. It is given latent heat of vaporization of water at `0^(@)C = 21 xx 10^(5) J//kg` and latent heat of freezing of water `=3.36 xx 10^(5) J//kg`. the maximum percentage amount of water vapour that will be solidified in this manner will be:A. `86.2%`B. `33.6%`C. `21%`D. `24.36%`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Let x = percentage of water solidified then heat lost = Heat gained
`implies x xx 3.36 xx 10^(5) = (100 - x) xx 21 xx 10^(5)`
`implies x= (100)/(1.16) = 86.2%`
