The specific heat of water is 1 BTU per pound per degree Fahrenheit. There are 8.3378 lbs/gallon at 60 degrees, which equals 3251.742 pounds of water. The number of BTUs to raise it 188 degrees is then 611,327.496 BTUs.

∙ 15y ago89,964 Btu's in 60 Gallons of water. Here's the formula. Gallons times maximum temperature rise times weight of one gallon equals Btus. In the example, Gallons = 60 Max temp rise = 180°F or from freezing to boiling, 212°F minus 32°F weight of one gallon = 8.33 lb 60 x 180 x 8.33 = 89,964

How many BTUs are required to change five pounds of ice at 20 degrees F to steam at 220 degress F?
The question cannot be answered because:the temperature scale being used has not been specified,There is no normal temperature scale in which you can have ice at 32 degrees and steam at 82 degrees without large changes in pressure. If changes in pressure are permitted then there is no simple formula to calculate the amount of heat (btus) required.
How long do you heat water to get 98.6 degrees?
depends on the amount of water
Does heat move in or out of water cooled below 0 degrees?
Out
How much gas does it take to heat a gallon of water?
depends how big the heating source is
How hot does 300 ml of water get after being on a hotplate for 30 sec?
To answer this question we would need to know the BTUs of the hot plate, the area of the hotplate's surface, the interconnecting area of the hotplates surface and the water container. The Heat capacity of water we can get from a reference book.
How many BTUs will it take to change 1 gallon of water at 32 degrees to ice at 32 degrees?
You would need to remove approximately 1200 BTUs of heat to convert a gallon of water to ice. There are 8.34 lb in a gallon of water, which converting to lb-moles is 0.463. The latent heat of crystallization for water is -2583.4 BTU/lb-mole. Multiplying the two together and you get -1197 BTUs, which means you need to remove that amount of heat to convert the gallon of water to ice.
What is the heat of 1 gallon of water at 170 degrees?
170o
How many btus are needed to heat one lb of water one hundred degrees?
100 BTU if it's Fahrenheit
What is 650 degrees in BTUs?
One measure does not directly translate to another. A BTU is the amount of heat that it takes to raise the temp of one pound of water by one degree F. A burning match, and a burning fireplace may both be at 650 degrees, but the fireplace gives off more heat (more BTUs)
How many btus does it take to heat up one gallon of water?
That depends on what the starting temperature of the water is,and what temperature you want it to reach.If you expect to get a number, you must first give the necessary numbers.
How many Kilowatts are use used by the average tank water heater to heat 1 gallon of water from 18 degrees Celsius to 45 degrees?
no
How many btus are required to change one pound of ice at 20 degrees Fahrenheit to steam at 220 degrees Fahrenheit?
1)This is a 5 part question. The first is realizing that 20F to 32F uses .5BTU per pound per degree. That means it takes 32-20=12*.5=6BTUs to get the ice to 32F. 2)Then you need to know the Latent Heat of Fusion for Ice which is 144BTUs (given). Lets assumes the ice changes from ice to water instantaneously at 32F. 3)Next we calculate the BTUs from 32F to 212F. Which is 1BTU per pound per degree F. 212-32=180 so it take 180BTUS. 4)Next we have to use the Latent Heat of Vaporization of water which will say instantaneously converts water to vapor. This takes 970BTUS (given). 5)Then we calculate the BTUS from 212F to 220F. Which is .5BTUs per pound per degree F which is 220-212=8*.5=4BTUs...... Finally add up all the BTUs and you get 6+144+180+970+4=1304BTUs.
If a piece of iron with a temperature of 300 degrees celsius is dropped into a gallon of water with a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius heat will?
heat will flow from the iron to the water until both are the same temperature
What mass of water can be heated from 25 degrees celsius to 5 degrees celsius by the addition of 2825 joules?
None. Changing water from 25 degrees C to 5 degrees C requires heat to be REMOVED, not added!
How many BTUs does it take to heat one pound of water from 80 degree F to 212 degree F?
212 - 80 = 132 degrees temperature increase x 1 pound water = 132 BTU
How many gallons of hot water does it take to heat 1 gallon of cold to 72 degrees?
That depends on the starting temperature of the cold water and the starting temperature of the hot water.
What is BTU of gasoline in engine?
BTU is an abbreviation for British Thermal Unit. This represents how much heat or energy is required to increase the temperature of 1 lb of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. Gasoline, on average, creates between 115,000 and 125,000 BTUs. In contrast, ethanol creates about 75,000 BTUs.
