If you threw 300g of pasta (25C) into 3liters of boiling water, what affect would this have on the temp?

Question

... before the stove had time to provide more heat

the specific heat of the pasta is 1.8j/gC

Answer 1

I agree, the temperature of the water would fall and that of the pasta would rse until they were the same. then assuming the stove is still on, their temperature would rise at the same rate to 100 degrees and stay there. Since the pasta does not necessarily the water, it will not affect the water's boiling point.

Answer 2

what is the specific heat of the pasta?

but reguardless the temperature will decrease looking at the problem simply physically

chemically some of the wheat gum will fall into the solution (raising the boiling point thru colligative properties) while the noodles absorb some of the water

making proper computations of the system's equalibrium to be much more difficult than your teacher is wanting you to handle.
