A 1.0KW kettle contains 500g of boiling water. Calculate the time needed to evaporate all the water in the kettle. (Specific latent heat of vaporization of water=2.26MJKG^-1

Sagot :

The time needed to evaporate all the water in the kettle is  1.13 x 10³s.

What is Power?

The power is defined as the the ratio of amount of energy produced per unit time.

P =E/t

Energy is in the form of heat gained to evaporate all water in kettle.

E = Q =mL

So, P = mL/t

Substitute mass of water m = 0.5kg,  latent heat of vaporization of wate L = 2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg, power P= 10³ W, we have

10³ = (0.5 x 2.26 x 10⁶) /t

t = 1.13 x 10³s

Thus, the time needed to evaporate all the water is  1.13 x 10³s.
