Problem

Steam at 100 ∘C100\,^{\circ}\text{C} is passed into 200 g200\,\text{g} of water initially at 25 ∘C25\,^{\circ}\text{C} contained in a thermally insulated vessel. If 20 g20\,\text{g} of steam is condensed, determine the final temperature of the water. \newline\newline (Use cwater=4200 J kg−1K−1c_{\text{water}} = 4200\,\text{J kg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1} and Lvaporisation=2.26×106 J kg−1L_{\text{vaporisation}} = 2.26 \times 10^{6}\,\text{J kg}^{-1}.)
