A household humidifier continuously takes water in at 20.0 °C at a rate of 5.60 × 10^-⁵ kg/s and heats it until it evaporates. If the cost of electricity is $ 0.14/kWh, what is the daily cost of operating the humidifier? Notes: one kWh = 3.60 × 10⁶ J; and for water, the specific heat capacity is 4186 J/(kg · C°); the latent heats of fusion and vaporization are 3.35 × 10⁵ J/kg and 2.26 × 10⁶ J/kg, respectively. A)$ 0.31 B)$ 0.49 C)$ 0.58 D)$ 0.65 E)$ 0.70
