How much heat is needed to heat 350 grams of water from 20 degrees to boiling.

Initial data: m (mass of water) = 350 g (0.35 kg); t0 (initial water temperature) = 20 ºС.

Reference values: tboil (temperature at which water starts boiling, n.o.) = 100 ºС; С (specific heat capacity of water) = 4200 J / (kg * ºС).

The amount of heat for bringing water to a boil is determined by the formula: Q = C * m * (tboil – t0).

Calculation: Q = 4200 * 0.35 * (100 – 20) = 4200 * 0.35 * 80 = 117600 J or 117.6 kJ.

Answer: You need 117.6 kJ of thermal energy.
