- A
$1 \mathrm{gm}$
- B
$2 \mathrm{gm}$
- C
$4 \mathrm{gm}$
- ✓
$8 \mathrm{gm}$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $8 \mathrm{gm}$
Suppose $m \mathrm{gm}$ ice melted, then heat required for its melting $=m L=m \times 80 \mathrm{cal}$
Heat available with steam for being condensed and then brought to $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
$=1 \times 540+1 \times 1 \times(100-0)=640 \mathrm{cal}$
$\Rightarrow$ Heat lost $=$ Heat taken$\Rightarrow 640=m \times 80 \Rightarrow m=8 \mathrm{gm}$
Short trick: You can remember that amount of steam $\left(m^{\prime}\right)$ at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ required to melt $m\mathrm{gm}$ ice at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $m^{\prime}=\frac{m}{8}$.
