(Solved)
In an experiment to determine the specific latent heat of vaporization of water, steam of mass 20g at 100⁰C is passed into 200g of water initially at 40⁰C in a container of negligible heat capacity. The temperature of the water rises to 80⁰C. (take the specific capacity of water 4200J/kg/k and the boiling water as 100⁰C)
i. Determine the specific latent heat of vaporization of water.
ii. What are the two errors in this experiment?
