First some data:
Specific heat capacity of water in liquid form
H2O(l) 4.18
Specific Heat capacity of aluminum
Al(s) 0.89
The heat of vaporization for water is 2260 J/G
We are trying to find the mass of steam that must be added to the calorimeter to bring the total temperature up to 50 degrees C. The total ...
