heat will flow from the iron to the water until both are the same temperature
That's going to depend on the temperature of the water before you heat it, and on how hot you want it to be when you're done.
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.
"Watt" is a rate of moving energy. The more watts you use, the faster the waterwill heat up. The fewer watts you use, the slower it will heat. If you can affordthe time to wait, then any amount of power will do the job, no matter how small.
answer: 7680 btu 1 gallon= 8 lb 130F-50F=80F 12G*8LB*80F=7680 BTU
170o

That depends on the starting temperature of the cold water and the starting temperature of the hot water.
depends on the wattage of the elements along with the temp of the cold water but i would guess an hour or two
No. Heat is one of many forms of energy, and is measured in units of energy ... joules, calories, watt-seconds, BTU, foot-pounds, etc. "Degrees" describe the temperature of an object or a sample of a substance. That's a measure of how "full of heat" it is. One joule of heat will fill an ounce of water higher than the same joule will fill a gallon of water. So after absorbing the same amount of heat, the temperature of the ounce is higher than the gallon's temperature.
100 degrees celsius are equal to 212 degrees fahrenheit.
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.
not much since the water doesn't usually release very much heat
The transfer of heat (therms) through fluid (including air) motion.
