A 150 W immersion heater is used to keep the water in a large beaker boiling under standard atmospheric pressure. In 5 minutes, 16 g of water boils away. Neglect any heat loss to surroundings. (a) Find the specific latent heat of vaporization of water. I. A student puts a small metal sphere in the boiling water. After a few minutes, the sphere is quickly transferred to a polystyrene cup containing 100 g of water at a temperature of 20 °C. The cup of water is stirred gently and its highest temperature attained is 22 °C. Given: specific heat capacity of water-4200 J kg-¹ °C- (b) Estimate the heat capacity C of the metal sphere.

Select one: Stu nt since the ckness of layer is smaller and the infill density is higher. O We can't decide which process takes less time O Student A since the thickness of the layer is larger and the infill density is lower.
