4 x 103 * ( 70 – Tf) = 2 x 103 * (Tf - 20)
2 (70 – Tf ) = (Tf - 20)
140 – 2 Tf = Tf - 20
3 Tf = 160
Tf = 53.33 0C
9/5 C + 32

0F = 9/5 C + 32 0K= C + 273
1.8 * 40 + 32 = 104 0F 40+273 = 313 0K
change in 1 oC = change in 1 oK

The latent heat given out in changing from steam at 100
°C to water at the same temperature is
Q1 = ml = 0.01 x 2.2 x 106= 22 000 J = 22 kJ
The heat given out when this condensed water drops in
temperature from 100 °C to 33 °C is
Q2 = mC∆T= 0.01 x 4200 x (100 –33) = 2814 J = 2.8 kJ
So, the total heat released = Q1 + Q2 = 25 kJ
Qlost = Qgain
(m C Δt )lost = (m C Δt )gain

The white color light is reflected by the snow, which is a
matter of the geometry of the snow crystals. They are
arranged so that they scatter light which way, so you
perceive it as "white".
