The nuclear reaction that occurs by combining two or more lighter atoms into a larger one is called nuclear fusion. As a result of this reaction a huge amount of energy is released.
Nuclear fission is the opposite process of nuclear fusion when the atom splits into several smaller atoms.

A. How many Joules of energy are required to raise 3.50kg of water from 38.5 to 75.0C ? (specific heat of water is 4.184J/g C)(1

DochEvi [55]

A substance's specific heat tells you how much heat is required to increase the temperature of 1 g of that substance by 1°C.

The equation that establishes a relationshop between heat and change in temperature is

q = m • c • ∆T, where

q - heat absorbed

c - the specific heat of the substance, in your case of water

ΔT - the change in temperature, defined as the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature

so:

q = 1.00 g • 4.18 J/g×°C • (75.0 - 38.5)°C

q = 152,57 J
