Answer to Question #135996 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Silindile

Question

How much time does it take to boil water in a kettle

Answer 1

Time taken to boil a kettle depends on;

• initial temperature of the water
• Amount of water being boiled
• salinity of the water- Impurities such as salt absorb the heat that is intended to reach the water molecules
• Whether a lid is placed on the kettle or not, among others.

On average it takes an electric kettle about 4-5 minutes to boil 1 liter of water
