mass is always conserved.

you have the same mass of water as you have of steam.

You need to know the heat content of 10g of steam at 100 °, and divide
by the latent enthalpy of fusion of ice (per gram).  Have a read here
(http://www.physchem.co.za/Heat/Latent.htm) for some ideas.

The steam releases 10 g * 2260 J/g = 22600 J of latent heat when it
condenses to water at 100 C.  The water releases 10 g * 100 C * 4.186
J/gC = 4186 J of heat when it cools to 0 C.  So about 26800 J of heat
is available to melt ice.  You can melt (26800 J)/(334 J/g) = 80.2 g
of ice.
