$10 \, kg$ of water is to be heated from $20^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ in $1 \, hour$. Steam at $150^{\circ}C$ is passed through a copper coil immersed in the water. The steam condenses and returns to the boiler at $90^{\circ}C$. How much steam is required per hour? (Specific heat of water $= 1 \, cal/g^{\circ}C$,Latent heat of vaporization $= 540 \, cal/g$)

  • A
    $1 \, g$
  • B
