Heating Water at 90C: Why It Takes Longer Than Lower Temps

[darkmagic]

Why heating water at 90C takes longer than heating water at lower temperatures such as 70C?

I never heard of this before. But I can't give you an answer since I don't know much about heat transfer.

Because a lower initial temperature requires more energy to reach a set point? Water heats linearly (generally) between 0C and 100C (STP) ... 4186j/C or so.

You need to show your work. We cannot give you answers.

Why do you think it takes longer?

 

[darkmagic]

does the specific heat capacity has something to do with this?
