1.0 kg of water is container in a 1.25 kW kettle Calculate the time taken for the temperature of water to rise from 25° C to its boiling point 100°C. Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J g-1K-1 |
|
Answer» Mass of water = 1000 g. Change in temperature=100oC − 25 oC = 75 oC (or 75K) Amount of heat energy required to raise temperature = 1000 × 4.2 × 75 = 315000 J. Time taken to raise the temperature, T = 4 min 12 seconds. |
