Calculate the time required to heat 20 kg of water from 10∘C to 35∘C using an immersion heater rated 1000 W. Assume that 80% of the power input is used to heat the water. Specific heat capacity of water =4200 J kg−1K−1.
The amount of heat energy required to convert 1 kg of ice at −10∘C to water at 100∘C is 7,77,000 J. Calculate the specific latent heat of ice.
Specific heat capacity of ice = 2100 J kg−1 K−1, specific heat capacity of water=4200 J kg−1 K−1.
