Answer to Question #148994 in Physics for siphelele

Question

If 150cm3 of steam at 100∘C is added to 250cm3 water at 40∘C, how much steam(in cm3) is condensed into water at 100∘C?

Answer 1

$$m_sR=m_wc(T-T_0)\\\rho_sV_sR=\rho_wV_wc(T-T_0) \\(0.59)(2260000)V_s=(1000)(250)(4200)(100-40)\\V_s=47250\ cm^3>V_{s0}$$

Thus, all steam is condensed into water:

$$V_s=V_{s0}=150\ cm^3$$
