Answer:
THE HEAT NEEDED TO CHANGE 3KG OF WATER FROM 10 C TO 80 C IS 877.8kJ OR 877,800 J.
Explanation:
Mass = 3.0 kg = 3 * 1000 = 3000 g
Initial temperature = 10 C
Final temperature = 80 C
Change in temperature = 80 - 10 = 70 C
Specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g C
Heat needed = unknown
Heat is the amount of energy in joules needed to change a gram of water by 1 C.
Heat = mass * specific heat * change in temperature
Heat = 3000 g * 4.18 J/g C * 70 C
Heat = 877 800 Joules
Heat = 877.8 kJ.
The heat needed to change 3 kg mass of water from 10 C to 80 C is 877,800 J or 877.8 kJ.
