Answer:
7.2 g (0.0072)g
Explanation:
Mass of calorimeter cup Mc = 38 g = 38 / 1000kg = 0.038 kg, mass of water in the calorimeter Mw =220g = 220/1000 kg = 0.22kg, initial temperature of the calorimeter and water = 29 oC, final temperature expected = 48oC
Using the formula
Heat gain = heat loss assuming no heat is loss to the surrounding
Heat loss by steam = mLv + mcΔT (heat loss in cooling the water to 48oC) where m is the mass of steam in kg, c is the specific heat capacity of water (4200J/(Kg.oC) and latent heat of vaporization of water = 22.6 × 10^5J/Kg is the heat loss in condensing water back to steam
Take m out as common and substitute the values into the above formula
Heat loss by steam = m (Lv + cΔT) = m (( -22.6 × 10^5) + ( 4200 × (48-100)))
Heat loss by steam = m ( -2260000 - 218400)
Heat loss by steam = m ( - 2478400) where the - sign signify loss
Heat gain by calorimeter and water inside = MccΔT + MwcΔT
substitute the values inside the formula
Heat gain by calorimeter and water = (0.038 ×490×(48-29)) + (0.22 ×4200×(48-29)
Heat gain by calorimeter and water = 353.7 + 17556 = 17909.78 J
Remember Heat gain equals heat loss
17909.78 = m (2478400)
divide both side by 2478400
m = 17909.78 / 2478400 = 0.0072 kg = 7.2 g
