A kettle of water contains 1.2 kg of water. Calculate how much energy is required to hear it from water at 10 degrees to its boiling point of 100 degrees

Respuesta :

Answer:

450 kJ

Explanation:

Q = mCΔT

where Q is heat (energy),

m is mass,

C is specific heat capacity,

and ΔT is the temperature change.

Q = (1.2 kg) (4180 J/kg/°C) (100°C − 10°C)

Q = 451,440 J

Q ≈ 450 kJ
