14.3 Exercise 15

Avg difficulty 2.5

(a) How much heat transfer is required to raise the temperature of a 0.750-kg aluminum pot containing 2.50 kg of water from 30.0ºC\text{30} . 0º \text{C} to the boiling point and then boil away 0.750 kg of water? (b) How long does this take if the rate of heat transfer is 500 W 1 watt = 1 joule/second (1 W = 1 J/s)1 \text{watt}\textrm{ }=\textrm{ }\text{1}\textrm{ } \text{joule}/\text{second} \left(\text{1}\textrm{ }\text{W}\textrm{ }=\textrm{ }\text{1}\textrm{ }\text{J}/\text{s}\right)?
