Question
Collect 250 ml of water in a saucepan from your tap. Measure the temperature of the water using a cooking thermometer. Heat the water up to boiling point and record the time required to reach the boing point. Turn of the heat and record the time required to cool down the water to the initial temperature. Consider the following information are given for the water, density=1000 kg/m3, specific heat capacity=4140 J/kg.oC, Latent heat of evaporation= 2264.76 kJ/kg and boiling point=100 oC Answer the following questions,
a) What was the initial temperature of the water in Celsius scale? Convert this initial temperature into Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
b) How long it takes to reach the boiling point? Assuming heat was supplied to the water at a constant rate, what was the heat transfer rate?
c) If you continued to add heat for another 2 minutes, how much of the water would evaporate [mass of the evaporated waster]?
d) How long it takes to cool down? Record the temperatures in five minutes interval. Is there any discrepancy between the times required to heat and cool? If so, why?
first off i think either my stove or thermometer is brocken as on the stoves highest temperature the celsius keeps fluctuating aroundthe 75 degrees celsius mark, but providing that wasn't the case how would i go about solving these questions formula wise?
in regards to the power rating fore the stove top, it is not available..
Explanation / Answer
i am giving direction to solve as you asked need empirical data to solve
A) that is given in your experiment
Tf = [Tc *9/5]+32
Tk = Tc +273
B) Q = m* Cp *(Tf-Ti ) that is total heat required to reach at a Temperature
which will be equal to heat transfer rate * time
C) instant of specific heat capacity use Latent heat of evaporation
D) experimental data
