A 100 W heater is used to boil 0.7 water at 20oC in a wok. Given that the specific heat capacity of water is 4200 Jkg-1oC-1 and the specific latent heat of vaporization of water is 2260 kJkg-1.
(a) Find the time it takes to raise the water to 100oC.
(b) Explain briefly whether the water and steam will be affected, if another heater of power 120 W is used.
(c) Calculate the amount of steam generated after the water boils for 10 minutes with the use of 100 W heater.
(d) "It should need less time to cook the food if we use steam at 100oC instead of water at 100oC." Comment on this statement.
Thank you very much~ XD
