Question
A microwave oven is used to heat 250 g of water. On itsmaximum setting, the oven can raise the temperature of theliquid water from 20C to 100C in 1 min 45 s (= 105 s). (a) Atwhat rate does the oven input energy to the liquid water?(b) If the power input from the oven to the water remainsconstant, determine how many grams of water will boil away ifthe oven is operated for 2 min (rather than just 1 min 45 s).
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 79 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A microwave oven is used to heat 250 g of water. On itsmaximum setting, the oven can raise the temperature of theliquid water from 20C to 100C in 1 min 45 s (= 105 s). (a) Atwhat rate does the oven input energy to the liquid water?(b) If the power input from the oven to the water remainsconstant, determine how many grams of water will boil away ifthe oven is operated for 2 min (rather than just 1 min 45 s).
From the textbook chapter Heat and the First Law
of Thermodynamics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
