1.0 kg of water is contained in a 1-25 kW ketleCalculate the time taken for the temperature of waterthe to rise from 25°C to its boiling point 100°C. Specificheat capacity of water 4.2 J g^-1 K^-1

Answer»

Let the time taken is t

heat loss by kettle = heat gain by water 1.25 × 10³ × t = Q = mC∆T C is the specific heat capacity of water e.g., C = 42J/Kg/K∆T = (100 - 25)°C1250 × t = 1 × 4200× ( 100 - 25) 1250 × t = 4200 × 75 50t = 12600 t = 1260/5 = 252 sec

hence, time taken = 252 sec
