The iron is automatically awitched off when the ironing plate is heated to200℃.When the 'jet steam' button is pressed once , 20 g of water at 28℃ will be pumped onto the heated plate at 200℃and the water is converted into steam at 100℃ instantly.
given: specific heat capacity of water=4200 Jkg^-1℃^-1 , specific latent heat of vaporization of water=2.2610^6 J kg^-1
a)
1. estimate the energy required to produce 20g of steam from water at28℃
2.Given that the heat capacity of the ironing plate is 637J℃^-1.Estimate the temperature of the plate just after producing 20 g of steam.
b) the iron cannot convert 40 g of water at 28℃ to steam when the button has been pressed twice quickly. Explain why.
