Answer
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsPart a
Two factors that should be considered when choosing fuel for cooking are
- Calorific value: The amount of heat produced per unit mass or volume of the fuel.
- Cost and availability: The economic feasibility and ease of obtaining the fuel.
Part b(i)
Heat evolved during the experiment.
Given data:
Volume of water () =
Initial temperature of water () =
Final temperature of water () =
Density of water () =
Specific heat capacity of water () = (assuming the given is a typo and should be )
Calculate the mass of water.
The mass of water can be calculated using its density and volume.
Convert mass to kilograms:
Calculate the change in temperature of the water.
Note that a change in temperature of is equivalent to a change of .
Calculate the heat evolved (heat absorbed by the water).
The heat absorbed by the water () is calculated using the formula .
The heat evolved during the experiment is .
