Chapter 11, Problem 76E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The final temperature of the mixture when $0.552\text{g}$ of steam is condensed with $4.25\text{g}$ of water at $5°\text{C}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat required per kilogram of substance to change its state from solid to liquid. The specific heat of fusion of a substance is defined as the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of one gram of substance by $\text{1}°\text{C}$ .

To determine: The final temperature of the mixture when $0.552\text{g}$ of steam is condensed with $4.25\text{g}$ of water at $5°\text{C}$ .
