= energy absorbed by water, noodle and bowl 1M
Pt = mcT + C1T + C2T
1M
1000t = 0.5  4200  (100  60) + 170  (100  60) + 900  (100  60)
t = 127 s
It takes 127 s for the microwave oven to boil the water.
1A
(b) Energy supplied by microwave oven = energy absorbed by water 1M
Pt = mlv 1M
1000  4  60 = m  2.26  106
m = 106 g
1A
 106 g of water is vaporized.
(c) Reduce the loss of water through vaporization. 1A
(Or other reasonable answers)

6. (a) Let n be the number of ice cubes added

Energy gained by EACH ice cube = 0.01  3.4  105  0.01  4200  10
= 3820 J 1M
Energy released by coffee = 0.1  4200  60
= 25200 J 1M
3820 * n = 25200 1M
n = 6.6
Therefore, at least 7 ice cubes are required. 1A

(b) The cold coffee gains heat from the surrounding. 1A
