Water is boiled in a pan on a stove at sea level. During 10 min of boiling, it is observed that 200 g of water has evaporated. Determine the rate of heat transfer to the water. Solve this using appropriate software. Use data from the tables.

Answer : The rate of heat transfer to the water is, 37.92 kJ/min

Explanation : Given,

Time = 10 min

Mass of water = 200 g

Latent heat of fusion of water = 334 J/g

Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2230 J/g

Now we have to calculate the rate of heat transfer to the water.

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Thus, the rate of heat transfer to the water is, 37.92 kJ/min
