Steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is passed into $1 \ kg$ of water contained in a calorimeter of water equivalent $0.2 \ kg$ at $9^{\circ} C$ until the temperature of the calorimeter and water in it increases to $90^{\circ} C$. The mass of steam condensed in $kg$ is nearly (specific heat of water $= 1 \ cal/g^{\circ} C$,latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 \ cal/g$)
