How long does it take a 750-w coffeepot to bring to a boil 0.65 l of water initially at 13 ∘c? assume that the part of the pot which is heated with the water is made of 360 g of aluminum, and that no water boils away. ignore the heat loss to the surrounding environment. the value of specific heat for water is 4186 j/kg⋅c∘ and for aluminum is 900 j/kg⋅c∘.

353 s

Explanation:

Energy               = energy needed to raise the temperature of pot to 100°C +

required              energy needed to raise the temperature of water to 100°C

                    = MCΔT + mcΔT                      

                     = 0.65 kg * 4186 J/kg-°C * 87 °C + 0.36 kg * 900 J/kg-°C * 87 °C

                     = 264 906.3 J

Energy required = energy delivered * time

264 906.3 J = 750 J/s * time

time = 353 s

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.
