A 5000 W heater is used to heat water. How long will it take to heat 20kg of water from 20 deg. C to 100 deg. C ?
Added by Leroy M.
Step 1
First, we need to calculate the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 20kg of water from 20°C to 100°C. We can use the formula: Q = m × c × ΔT where Q is the heat energy, m is the mass of water, c is the specific heat capacity of water (4.18 Show more…

A tank containing 200 kg of water was used as a constanttemperature bath. How long would it take to heat the bath from $20{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ with a 250-W immersion heater? Neglect the heat capacity of the tank frame and any heat losses to the air.
How long will it take a 500-W heater to raise the temperature of $400 \mathrm{~g}$ of water from $15.0{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $98.0{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.
