Answer:
283549.68 J
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass (M) = 2.7 Kg
Initial Temperature (T₁) = 5.4 °C
Final temperature (T₂) = 30.5 °C
Specific heat capacity (C) = 4184 J/KgºC
Heat (Q) =?
The amount of heat energy needed can be obtained as follow:
Q = MC(T₂ – T₁)
Q = 2.7 × 4184 × (30.5 – 5.4)
Q = 11296.8 × 25.1
Q = 283549.68 J
Thus, the heat energy needed is 283549.68 J
