I am wondering if there is a formula that would tell me the time required for a pot of water to boil assuming you know:
1. The volume of water
2. temperature at which the stove is set.
Thank you

u can calculate the time taken to boil the water, if the volume, temperature of water is known, the amount of heat supplied (or power of the stove and the efficiency)
specific heat capacity of water is 4200

Well in a perfect world (sea level, pure H2O etc.) there is a direct known formula re how many calories one needs to raise the temperature of a ml of water by 1 deg C. In a kitchen scenario - well what about wastage. The oven may be set at a particular output but a lot of the energy - realistically - goes around the container of water and not into it!

It depends on several things. The temperature of the water to begin with. How high above sea level you are. Is the water pure ? And more that I haven't mentioned. There is no set formula.

You were just sitting around on a Wednesday night wondering that???
Do you own homework!
