In an experiment to determine the specific latent heat of vaporization of water, steam at 100ºC was passed into water contained in a well-lagged copper calorimeter. The following measurements were made:
- Mass of calorimeter = 60g
- mass of water + calorimeter = 145g
- Final mass of calorimeter + water + condensed steam = 156g
- Final temperature of the mixture = 48oC
[Specific heat capacity of water = 4200JKgˉ¹kˉ¹ and specific heat capacity of copper = 390JKgˉ¹kˉ¹
Determine the;
(i) mass of condensed steam.
(ii) The heat gained by the water and calorimeter if the initial temperature of the calorimeter and water is 20ºC.
(iii) Given that Lv is the specific latent heat of vaporization of steam, write an expression for the heat given out by steam.
(iv) Determine the value of Lv above
(v) State the assumption made in the above experiment
