<h3>Answer:</h3>

838 Joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To calculate amount of heat required we multiply mass of water by the specific heat capacity and then by change in temperature.
That is; Q =m×c×ΔT

We are given;

Specific heat capacity of water, c = 4.19 J/g.K

Mass of water, m = 100.0 g

Change in temperature, ΔT = 2.00°C or 2 K

Therefore;

Q = mcΔT

= 100 g × 4.19 J/g.K × 2K

= 838 Joules

Thus, the energy required is 838 Joules
