Q. 1kg of ice at 0^o C is mixed with 1 kg of steam at 100^o C . What will be the composition of the system when thermal equilibrium is reached? Given: Latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.36 x 10^5 J/kg and Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.26x 10^6 J/kg.I want the method of approach to this problem. I think we must use Q = mL. But we need the composition i.e x gm of steam and y gm of water.So how to solve it.
