An investigation has been completed, similar to the one on latent heat of fusion, where steam is bubbled through a container of water. Steam condenses and the lost energy heats the water and container. Given the following data, do the calculations requested. Mass of the aluminum container 50 g
Mass of the container and water 250 g
Mass of the water 200 g
Initial temperature of the container and water 20°C
Temperature of the steam 100°C
Final temperature of the container, water, and condensed steam 50°C
Mass of the container, water, and condensed steam 261 g
Mass of the steam 11 g
Specific heat of aluminum 0.22 cal/g°C
Does the amount of heat energy lost by the steam equal that gained by the aluminum and water?

yes
no
