Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Approximately $13\; \rm g$ of steam at $100\; \rm ^\circ C$ (assuming that the boiling point of water in this experiment is $100\; \rm ^\circ C\!$ .)

Explanation:

Latent heat of condensation/evaporation of water: $2260\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}$ .

Both mass values in this question are given in grams. Hence, convert the specific heat values from this question to $\rm J \cdot g^{-1}$ .

Specific heat of water: $4.2\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot \rm K^{-1}$ .

Specific heat of copper: $0.39\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1}$ .

The temperature of this calorimeter and the $250\; \rm g$ of water that it initially contains increased from $20\; \rm ^\circ C$ to $50\; \rm ^\circ C$ . Calculate the amount of energy that would be absorbed:

$\begin{aligned}& Q(\text{copper}) \\ =\;& c \cdot m \cdot \Delta t \\ =\;& 0.39\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1} \times 50\; \rm g \times (50\;{\rm ^\circ C} - 20\;{\rm ^\circ C}) \\ =\; & 585\; \rm J \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}& Q(\text{cool water}) \\ =\;& c \cdot m \cdot \Delta t \\ =\;& 4.2\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1} \times 250\; \rm g \times (50\;{\rm ^\circ C} - 20\;{\rm ^\circ C}) \\ =\; & 31500\; \rm J \end{aligned}$ .

Hence, it would take an extra $585\; \rm J + 31500\; \rm J = 32085\; \rm J$ of energy to increase the temperature of the calorimeter and the $250\; \rm g$ of water that it initially contains from $20\; \rm ^\circ C$ to $50\; \rm ^\circ C$ .

Assume that it would take $x$ grams of steam at $100\; \rm ^\circ C$ ensure that the equilibrium temperature of the system is $50\; \rm ^\circ C$ .

In other words, $x\; \rm g$ of steam at $100\; \rm ^\circ C$ would need to release $32085\; \rm J$ as it condenses (releases latent heat) and cools down to $50\; \rm ^\circ C$ .

Latent heat of condensation from $x\; \rm g$ of steam: $2260\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1}} \times (x\; {\rm g}) = (2260\, x)\; \rm J$ .

Energy released when that $x\; {\rm g}$ of water from the steam cools down from $100\; \rm ^\circ C$ to $50\; \rm ^\circ C$ :

$\begin{aligned}Q = \;& c \cdot m \cdot \Delta t \\ =\;& 4.2\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1}} \times (x\; \rm g) \times (100\;{\rm ^\circ C} - 50\;{\rm ^\circ C}) \\ =\; & (210\, x)\; \rm J \end{aligned}$ .

These two parts of energy should add up to $32085\; \rm J$ . That would be exactly what it would take to raise the temperature of the calorimeter and the water that it initially contains from $20\; \rm ^\circ C$ to $50\; \rm ^\circ C$ .

$(2260\, x)\; {\rm J} + (210\, x)\; {\rm J} = 32085\; \rm J$ .

Solve for $x$ :

$x \approx 13$ .

Hence, it would take approximately $13\; \rm g$ of steam at $100\; \rm ^\circ C$ for the equilibrium temperature of the system to be $50\; \rm ^\circ C$ .
