Heat and Thermodynamics 1 Question 12

12. Water of volume 2L in a container is heated with a coil of 1kW at 27C. The lid of the container is open and energy dissipates at rate of 160J/s. In how much time temperature will rise from 27C to 77C ?

(2005, 2M)

[Specific heat of water is 4.2kJ/kg ]

(a) 8min20s

(b) 6min2s

(c) 7min

(d) 14min

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 12. (a)

Solution:

  1. Energy gained by water (in 1s )

= energy supplied - energy lost =1000J160J=840J

Total heat required to raise the temperature of water from 27C to 77C is msΔθ.

Hence, the required time

t=msΔθ rate by which energy is gained by water =(2)(4.2×103)(50)840=500s=8min20s
