1.96 minutes long should it take to bring 0. 7 l of water from room temperature (20°c) to 80°c.

To find the answer, we have to know about the heat energy.

How to find the time taken to raise the temperature?

  • It is given that,

                    [tex]Power,P=1500W\\Volumw, V=0.7L\\T_1=20^0C \\T_2=80^0C[/tex]

  • We have to find mass of water first, and the expression is,

                   [tex]m=\rho V=1kg/L*0.7L=0.7kg[/tex]

  • Heat energy required to raise the temperature from 20 to 80 degree Celsius is,

                    [tex]Q=mc\Delta T=0.7*4182(80-20)\\Q=1.76*10^5J[/tex]

where, c equals to 4182J/kg°C.

  • This energy can be related with power and then the time will be,

                     [tex]t=\frac{E}{P} =\frac{1.76*10^5}{1500} =117.3s=1.96minutes.[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that, 1.96 minutes long should it take to bring 0. 7 l of water from room temperature (20°c) to 80°c.
