A liquid at30 oCis poured very slowly into a Calorimeter that is at temperature of110 oC.The boiling temperature of the liquid is80 oC.It is found that the first5 gmof the liquid completely evaporates. After pouring another80 gmof the liquid the equilibrium temperature is found to be50 oC.The ratio of the Latent heat of the liquid to its specific heat will be ______ oC.
[Neglect the heat exchange with surrounding]

Answer:
270
Solution:

Note: The information about condition of calorimeter is not given in question, so following two cases arise -
Case1: If calorimeter is closed (vapour not allowed to escape)
Heat gain=Heat loss
5S(80-30)+5L=W(110-80)(as first5 gmliquid is evaporated)
S=Specific heat of liquid
L=Latent heat of liquid
W=Water equivalent of calorimeter
250S+5L=W×30...(i)
Now80 gmliquid is poured,
Heat gain=Heat loss
Here final temperature=50°C
80×S×20=5L+5S×30+W×30...(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
LS=120Answer
Case2: If calorimeter is open and after evaporation liquid escapes
5×S×50+5L=W×30...(i)
(as first5 gmliquid is evaporated)
80×S×20=W×30...(ii)
(after pouring80 gm liquid, the equilibrium temperature is50°C
80×S×20=S×S×50+5L(using (i) and (ii)
SL=1350S
LS=270
