Atube leads from a flask in which water is boiling under atmospheric pressure to a calorimeter. The mass of the calorimeter is 150 g, its specific heat capacity is 0.1 cal/g/°C, and it contains originally 340 g of water at 15°C. Steam is allowed to condense in the calorimeter until its temperature increases to 71°C, after which total mass of calorimeter and contents are found to be 525 g. Compute the heat of condensation of steam.
