Expert Answer
Let MS be the required mass of steam in kg.
Heat loss by the steam from 100°C to 0C is, QL = MS×Lv+MS×Cp×(100-0)
where Lv is latent heat of vaporaisation of steam, Cp is specific heat of water
Heat required to Melt 1.5 kg of ice, QG = 1.5×Lf
where Lf is latent heat of vaporaisation of steam
QL = QG
MS×Lv+MS×Cp×(100-0) = 1.5×Lf
MS = 1.5 × [ Lf / ( Lv + 100 × Cp ) ]
Lf = 334 kJ/kg, Lv = 2260 kJ/kg and Cp = 4.2 kJ/(kgK)
MS = ( 1.5×334 ) /2680 = 187 gm
