Answer:

5700 BTU

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

1 kwh = 3400 BTU’s

1 gallon = 8 pounds of water

Initial temperature = 50°F

Final temperature = 100°F

Water used by dishwasher = 10 gallons

Electrical energy used = 0.5 kwh

Now,

Water used in pounds = 10 × 8 = 80 lb

Total electrical energy used in BTU = 0.5 × 3400 BTU     [ as 1 kwh = 3400 BTU]

Total electrical energy used in BTU = 1700 BTU

Energy used by water = Water used by dishwasher × Change in temperature × Specific heat of water

[  Specific heat of water = 1 BTU / °F.lb ]

Thus,

Energy used by water = 80 × 1 × ( 100 - 50 )

= 4000 BTU

Hence,

Total energy used = 1700 BTU + 4000 BTU = 5700 BTU
