Suppose you have two kettles – a plug-in electric kettle and a stovetop kettle. The electric kettle uses electricity from a natural gas fired powerplant, while you boil water in your stovetop kettle on a natural gas burner. a) Based on the following information, which of these kettles demonstrates a higher energy efficiency (i.e., which is more efficient at using energy from fuel to heat water)? Please calculate the efficiencies of each kettle and express answers as percentages. -The natural gas power plant converts chemical energy of the natural gas to electricalenergy with 58% efficiency. -High-voltage power lines from the power plant to your house convey electricity with92% efficiency. -The electric kettle converts electrical energy to thermal energy in the water with 85%efficiency (the other 15% heats up the kettle itself). -The stove burner converts chemical energy of natural gas to thermal energy with 98%efficiency (the other 2% is light). -The stovetop kettle transfers 35% of…
