The time taken to heat cup of soup
Answer to Problem 8P
Solution:
Time taken to heat cup of soup is 167.44 seconds
Explanation of Solution
Given:
is 375 W
of water is 4186 J/kgK
is mass
is density of water is 1000 kg/cu.m
is volume which is 250 mL or 250 L
is 75 C
is 15 C
Formula Used:
The formula used is the relation between temperature and specific heat from thermodynamics
Where,
is the heat transferred
is the specific heat
is the mass
is the final temperature
is the initial temperature
Power formula:
Where,
is the power
is time
Calculation:
The mass of water is determined by the multiplying density
with volume
Volume by the multiplying is 0.250 L. 1000 L is 1 cu.m. So 0.250 L is 0.00025 cu.m.
Mass is now
kg
To find energy needed to raise the temperature of the soup, insert the given values in the heat capacity formula:
J
The energy to heat the soup is J
Since power is 375 W
The time taken can be calculated using by substituting the energy J as power is energy delivered per unit time.
