How much heat must be transferred to 1 kg of water in order to increase its temperature from 15 * C to 100 * C?

m = 1 kg.

C = 4200 J / kg * 0С.

t1 = 15 0С.

t2 = 100 0С.

Q -?

The amount of heat Q required for heating water is expressed by the formula: Q = C * m * (t2 – t1), where C is the specific heat capacity of water, m is the mass of water that is heated, t2, t1 are the final and initial water temperatures.

Q = 4200 J / kg * 0С * 1 kg * (100 0С – 15 0С) = 357000 J.

Answer: to heat water, you need to spend Q = 357000 J of thermal energy.
