Q6. A geyser heats water flowing at the rate of 3.0 liters per minute from 27 C to 77 C. If the geyser operates on a gas burner, what is the rate of consumption of the fuel if its heat of combustion is 4.0 ×  J/g?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:


m = mass of water  

s = specific heat of water

heat of combustion is 4.0   J/g

rate of consumption of the fuel = Q / Heat of combustion
