Some stoves use the heat produced by current flowing through a conductor. If the heating element (conductor) has a resistance of 30 ohms, how long will the burner have to work to heat 500 g of 30°C water up to its boiling point? The specific heat of water is 4.19 x 103 J/kg·°C, and the household voltage is (120V).

Respuesta :

Answer:305.52 s

Explanation:

Given

Resistance of conductor [tex]R=30 \Omega [/tex]

mass of water [tex]m=500 gm[/tex]

Initial Temperature [tex]T_i=30^{\circ}C[/tex]

Final Temperature [tex]T_f=100^{\circ}C[/tex]

specific heat [tex]c=4.19\times 10^3 J/kg-^{\circ}C[/tex]

Heat required to heat water [tex]Q=mc\Delta T[/tex]

[tex]Q=0.5\times 4.19\times 10^3\times (100-30)[/tex]

[tex]Q=146.65\times 10^3 J[/tex]

Heat generated by stove in time t

[tex]H=\frac{V^2}{R}\times t[/tex]

[tex]H=\frac{120^2}{30}\times t[/tex]

[tex]\frac{120^2}{30}\times t=146.65\times 10^3[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{146.65\times 10^3\times 30}{120^2}[/tex]

[tex]t=305.52 s\approx 5.09 min[/tex]
