<u>Answer:</u> The amount of heat required to warm given amount of water is 470.9 kJ
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:
Density of water = 1 g/mL
Volume of water = 1.50 L = 1500 mL (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
To calculate the heat absorbed by the water, we use the equation:
where,
q = heat absorbed
m = mass of water = 1500 g
c = heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g°C
= change in temperature =
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the amount of heat required to warm given amount of water is 470.9 kJ
