Since nobody is going, I though I'd jump in!

Sorry if this is too easy: If 50.0mL of water at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius is heated at a steady rate of 5000W, how long will it take to reach its boiling point?

Correct! Guess I should have made it a bit harder. Your turn!

Here's another slightly remsen-esque question

The emissivity of tungsten is 0.350. A tungsten sphere with radius 2.50 cm is suspended within a large evacuated enclosure whose walls are at 300.0 K. What power input is required to maintain the sphere at a temperature of 4500.0 K if heat conduction along the supports is neglected?

5.54*10^8 watts?

Good try, but you may have forgotten to account for surface area or something.

If the tungsten continuously radiates away its energy then it will obviously see a decrease in temperature. Therefore, the power input is exactly equal to the net energy radiated away each second.

[math]P=A\epsilon \sigma T^4=4\pi (0.025)^2 (0.35)(5.67*10^{-8})(4500^4-300^4)=63912 W[/math]

yes i forgot to mulitply by the stefan-Boltzmann constant and I misread cm as m.

I guess ill ask a question now.
Which state of water has the highest value of thermal conductivity?
