An aluminum kettle (mass = 100 g) of pure water (mass = 60 g) is at room temperature (20°C). The kettle and its contents are placed on a 1000-Watt electric burner and heated to boiling

Assuming that all the heat from the burner heats the kettle and its contents and that a negligible amount of water evaporates before boiling begins, calculate the amount of time required to bring the water to a boil. A) 3.5 min
B) 8.1 min
C) 4.9 min
D) 7.3 min
E) 4.0 min
