Calculate the amount of heat energy, in kJ, needed to increase the temperature of 200g of water by 300 C.

Answer:
Q = 246 kJ
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of water, m = 200 g
Let initial temperature, [tex]T_i=5^{\circ}[/tex]
Final temperature of water, [tex]T_f=300^{\circ} C[/tex]
We know that the specific heat capacity of water, [tex]c=4.18\ J/g-^{\circ} C[/tex]
So, the heat energy needed to raise the temperature is given by :
[tex]Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=200\times 4.18\times (300-5)\\\\Q=246620\ J[/tex]
or
Q = 246 kJ
So, the heat energy of 246 kJ is needed.
