Since final temperature is 15 degrees, all the substances reach that state.
Heat absorbed by 250g water at 0 degrees = 250 x 1 x (15 – 0) = 3750 cal
Heat absorbed by 15g ice = 15 x 80 [latent heat] + 15 x 1 x (15 – 0) = 1425 cal
This heat will be provided by an amout “m” of steam that we poured and have to calculate.
Heat lost by “m” mass of steam = m x 540 + m x 1 x (100 – 15) = 615 x m
This is equal to 3750 + 1425
3750 +1425 = 615m,
m = 8.414g
