help if u want medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Using an electric kettle, 200g of water at 100 degree celsius is converted into steam at 100 degree celsius in 300 seconds. The specific latent heat of steam is 2350J/g. What is the average elecrical power uswed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mass here is 200g =0.2 kg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The specific latent heat of steam is 2350J/g =2350 *1000 J/kg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

options are \[1)\frac{ 2250 }{ 300 \times 200 }W\] \[2)\frac{ 200 \times 2250 }{ 300 }W\] \[3)\frac{ 300 \times 2250 }{ 200 }W\]\[4)200 \times 300 \times 2250W\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

energy = 0.2 *2350 *1000 J so power = energy /time = 0.2 *2350 *1000 /300 J/sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry its 2250J/g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2nd option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get a bit :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first Heat energy = mass * latent heat is it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Heat energy = mass * specific latent heat ( when there is achange in state of matter and temperature reamins constant ) Heat energy = mass * specific heat * change in temperature( when there is no change in state of matter and temperature changes )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so here mass =200g =200 g The specific latent heat of steam is 2250J/g. so heat energy reauired is 200 *2250 J

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now power = energy /time = 200 *2250 J /300 sec =200*2250/300 W

hope its clear to you now...
