Solution
- In the first 20 s, the ice block have no change in temperature.
- There was a change in temperature from 20 s to 50 s, i.e. 50 – 20 = 30 s.
- Observing the graph, we see that after 50 s of heating the temperature became constant.
- 20°C was the temperature after 25 s.
- Since, the temperature became constant at 100°C after 50 s heating, so the temperature will be 100°C even after 1.5 min.
