Determine the mass of water that can be heated from 20 s to boiling by burning 30 kg of coal?

t1 = 20 ° C.

t2 = 100 ° C.

C = 4200 J / kg * ° C.

q = 2.7 * 10 ^ 7 J / kg.

mу = 30 kg.

mb -?

The amount of heat Qw required for heating water is expressed by the formula: Qw = C * mw * (t2-t1).

When coal is burned, the amount of heat Qу is released, which is determined by the formula: Qу = q * mу.

If we neglect the loss of thermal energy, then Qw = Qy.

C * mw * (t2 – t1) = q * mu.

mv = q * mу / C * (t2 – t1).

mw = 2.7 * 10 ^ 7 J / kg * 30 kg / 4200 J / kg * ° C * (100 ° C – 20 ° C) = 2410.7 kg.

Answer: when burning coal, you can heat mw = 2410.7 kg of water.
