A 5 kg iron bar is taken from a forge at a temperature of 1000?C and plunged into a bucket containing 10 kg of water at 60?C. Find the mass of water that is converted into steam.
The heat released by the iron = mass * specific heat *
temperature change.
The temperature change of the iron is 1000C - 100C, the 100C being
the boiling point of water.
The water is first heated up to 100C, its boiling point. energy =
mass * specific heat * (100C - 60C)
The water that boils absorbs heat, that energy = mass of water
boiled * latent heat of vaporization.
mass of iron * specific heat * 900C = total mass of water *
specific heat * 40C + mass of water boiled * heat of
vaporization.
5*450*900 = 10*4186*40 + M*2260*103
M = 0.155 kg
