To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate both the heat capacity and the specific heat capacity of the liquid. ### Given Data: - Power of the heater (P) = 1000 W - Mass of the liquid (m) = 5 kg - Initial temperature (T1) = 25 °C - Final temperature (T2) = 31 °C - Time (t) = 2 minutes = 2 × 60 seconds = 120 seconds ...
