Homework Statement
1litre of water is heated by an electric burner which couples 500W into the water. How long will it take to raise the temperature of the water to boiling point?
How much longer will it take for the water to evaporate?

Δu=mCΔT, where
The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
To complete this question, don't I need to know the latent heat capacity of water ?
I understand that I can calculate the time as Δu=mCΔT, where Δu= (500x(t)) J and rearrange to solve for t, but am I missing a variable or is there another way to solve this ?Thanks for your time :)
