The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can be converted from one form to another form.
The electric stove is supplying heat to the kettle, this makes the water particles in the kettle to gain more kinetic energy and to increase their motion until they gather enough energy to turn to vapor. The energy gained by the water particles is used to carry out the work of whistling of the kettle.
Given that,
Capacity = 3.6 gallons per minutes
Convert it into milliliters per seconds
Since, 1 gallon = 3.79 liters
1 liters = 1000 milliliters
Capacity= (3.6*3.79*1000)/(60)
Capacity = 227.4 milliliters per second.
Answer : The temperature of the gas is, 43.4 K
Explanation :
The expression used for work done will be,
where,
w = work done = 200 J
n = number of moles of gas = 0.40 mol
R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole K
T = temperature of gas = ?
= initial volume of gas = X
= final volume of gas = 
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get :
Thus, the temperature of the gas is, 43.4 K
