Question
The heating element of a coffeemaker operates at 120 V and carries a current of 7.70 A. Assuming the water absorbs all of the energy converted by the resistor, calculate how long it takes to heat 0.252 kg of water from room temperature (23.0°C) to the boiling point.
Step 1
The energy required to raise the temperature of an amount of water of mass m, from T;
= 23.0°C to the boiling point, T = 100°C, is
Q = m„C„(AT),
where the specific heat of water c = 4186 J/kg · °C. We have
Q = mwCw(AT) = mwCw(T – T;)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given information:

The voltage at which the coffee maker works (V) = 120 V

The current it carries (I) = 7.70 A

The mass of the water (m) = 0.252 kg

The initial temperature of the water (Ti) = 230 C

The final temperature of the water required (Tf) = Boiling point = 1000 C
