A 5.5-kW resistance heater in a water heater runs for 3 hours to raise the water temperature to the desired level. Determine the
1 answer:
Answer:
16.5 kwh and 59400 kJ.
Explanation:
kWh is a measure of energy that is equivalent to the power in kw times the number of hours the device worked.
In this case, it would be equal to:
1 kw also means 1kj of energy spent per second. With this, we calculate the amount of energy in kJ spent by the resistance:

Explanation:
First we will convert the given mass from lb to kg as follows.
157 lb =
= 71.215 kg
Now, mass of caffeine required for a person of that mass at the LD50 is as follows.
= 12818.7 mg
Convert the % of (w/w) into % (w/v) as follows.
0.65% (w/w) =
=
=
Therefore, calculate the volume which contains the amount of caffeine as follows.
12818.7 mg = 12.8187 g =
= 1972 ml
Thus, we can conclude that 1972 ml of the drink would be required to reach an LD50 of 180 mg/kg body mass if the person weighed 157 lb.
