help if u want medal
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?
mass here is 200g =0.2 kg
The specific latent heat of steam is 2350J/g =2350 *1000 J/kg
options are \[1)\frac{ 2250 }{ 300 \times 200 }W\] \[2)\frac{ 200 \times 2250 }{ 300 }W\] \[3)\frac{ 300 \times 2250 }{ 200 }W\]\[4)200 \times 300 \times 2250W\]
energy = 0.2 *2350 *1000 J so power = energy /time = 0.2 *2350 *1000 /300 J/sec
oh sorry its 2250J/g
yup
2nd option
i dont get a bit :(
first Heat energy = mass * latent heat is it
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 )
so here mass =200g =200 g The specific latent heat of steam is 2250J/g. so heat energy reauired is 200 *2250 J
now power = energy /time = 200 *2250 J /300 sec =200*2250/300 W
hope its clear to you now...
