Heating water with amps ohms and time

AI Thread Summary
To determine the final temperature of 89.6g of water at 304K after applying a current of 1.75A through a resistance of 24.7 ohms for 105 seconds, the discussion highlights the need to calculate the heat added to the water using the formula q = mC(Tf - Ti). The power can be calculated using the electric power formula, where power (in watts) is the product of voltage and current (P = IV). The current and resistance can be used to find voltage (V = IR). The participants emphasize the importance of understanding unit conversions and the relationships between electrical power, heat transfer, and temperature change. The conversation underscores the need for clarity on what "24.7" refers to, as it is crucial for calculating the voltage and subsequently the heat energy transferred to the water.

so if i have 89.6g water at 304K and a constant p=1.00bar and i heat it by running 1.75A through 24.7 for 105 seconds what will the final temp be?


im thinking i can take q=mC(Tf-Ti) and q=IT and I=R/V

to say that Tf= (Rt/vCm)+Ti

i can't rember that much about physics and this stuff isn't in my book, yet its on my study list...First off will this work. it appears that it would. Secondly what units would one use to do this

the best i can figure the unit work would be something like (Ω*s)/(v*K-1g-1*g) but this is one of those funny things where i don't know what that corresponds to

ya i screwed that up bad I=V/R and I don't have any value for V so no help...what on Earth do you do to something like this?
 
'running 1.75A through 24.7 for 105 seconds'

24.7 what?

You need to review how power is calculated knowing electric current:

Hint: 1 volt times 1 amp = 1 watt of power.
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
