Work done (heat energy required) in converting $1\,g$ of ice at $-10\,^{\circ}C$ into steam at $100\,^{\circ}C$ is ......... $J$. (Take specific heat of ice $= 0.5\,cal/g^{\circ}C$,latent heat of fusion $= 80\,cal/g$,specific heat of water $= 1\,cal/g^{\circ}C$,latent heat of vaporization $= 540\,cal/g$,and $1\,cal = 4.2\,J$)

$500\, g$ of water and $100\, g$ of ice at $0\,^{\circ}C$ are in a calorimeter whose water equivalent is $40\, g$. $10\, g$ of steam at $100\,^{\circ}C$ is added to it. Then the final amount of water in the calorimeter is ....... $g$ (Latent heat of ice $= 80\, cal/g$,Latent heat of steam $= 540\, cal/g$).
