How much wood do you need to burn to heat 5 kg of water from 20C to 100C?

mw = 5 kg.
C = 4200 J / kg * ° C.

t1 = 20 ° C.

t2 = 100 ° C.

q = 10 ^ 7 J / kg.

md -?

Qw = Qd.

Qw = C * mw * (t2 – t1).

Qd = q * md.

C * mw * (t2 – t1) = q * md.

md = C * mw * (t2 – t1) / q.

md = 4200 J / kg * ° C * 5 kg * (100 ° C – 20 ° C) / 10 ^ 7 J / kg = 0.168 kg.

Answer: it is necessary to burn firewood md = 0.168 kg.
