What is the difference in the amount of heat given out by 4kg of steam and 4kg of water when both are cooled from 100oC to 80oC? [the specific latent heat of steam is 2,260,000Jkg-1, specific heat capacity of water is 4200Jkg-1K-1]
A
4200J
B
2,260,OOOJ
C
9,040,000J
D
9,380,000J
correct option: c
Heat by water = mc\(\theta\)

Heat by steam = mc\(\theta\) + mL

Difference = mL = 4 x 2,260,000

= 9,040,000J
