Specific volume — UPSC Physics Optional IFoS 2021 Paper I

Find the pressure at which water would boil at 150^\circ\text{C} if the change in specific volume when one gm of water is converted into steam is 1676\text{ c.c.} Given J = 4\cdot 2 \times 10^7\text{ ergs/cal}, one atmosphere = 10^6\text{ dyne/cm}^2 and latent heat of vapourisation of steam = 540\text{ cal/gm}.
