It entirely depends on how much power or rate of energy flow there is into the water, which requires the latent heat of vaporisation (2.26 x 106 Joules/kg for water) to be supplied. Thus if the energy flow is 1 kW = 1000 Joules/sec, the mass of water evaporated per second will be 1000/2.26 x 106 kg or 0.4425 x 10-3 kg, which means it will take 2260 seconds to evaporate one kg, or about 38 minutes. Obviously in a large power plant where the energy flow might be 1000 MW, this is one million times as much, and you would evaporate 1000 tonnes (a million kg) in the same time.

Does salt water produce more steam than regular water?

Normal water as in pure water will steam faster than salt water. reason being that the salt water will require a higher boiling pont because of the prescence of impurities while pure water boils at 100 degrees


How long does it take for the water to start boiling At what temperature does the water boil?

How long it takes water to boil depends on how much heat is being used. Water boils at 100 degrees C


Why does a can with boiling water in it implode when put into a bucket with cold water in it?

because the hot water in the can mix causing steam filling the can with gas. that puts too much pressure on the can and it implodes to get rid of the gas inside


Which will produce more severe burn boiling water at 100 degree or steam?

AnswerSteamAdded:Steam causes more severe burns as compared to boiling water because steam contains more heat (i.e 40.6 kJ/mol condensation heat) then boiling water, both at the same temperature 100 oC.From that condensation is momentanous when in contact with skin, after being liquefied it behaves the same as boiling water: still 100 oC and cooling down is slower than condensation.


How would you know that the boiling rocks boil at same teperature each time?

By measuring the temperature of the rocks, and recording what temperature they are at when they start boiling. Also, through the years of chemistry, we've determined that each substance has properties that never change, such as boiling point, and melting point. Ice for instance melts into water above 32 F, or 0 C and boils at 212 F or 100 C. Below this range, water is a solid, (ice) and under normal conditions water will not heat above this range. The boiling point is the point at which as much energy is being put into it, the same amount will be released through boiling. The same can be said for the minerals that make up rocks, (except that the melting and boiling points on rocks is much hotter) Some conditions can change the boiling point of a substance. High pressure means a higher temperature will be needed to cause boiling (this is how a pressure cooker works) Low pressure will need a lower temperature to reach boiling.
