When boiling water, a hot plate takes an average of 88 minutes [min] and 1515 seconds [s] to boil 170170 milliliters [mL] of water. Assume the temperature in the lab is 6969 degrees Fahrenheit. The hot plate is rated to provide 501501 watts [W]. If we wish to boil 170170 milliliters [mL] of acetone using this same hot plate, how long do we expect the process to take? Acetone has a boiling point of 5656 degrees Celsius. [Hint: you must determine the efficiency of the hotplate.]
