Answer:
40479.6 J
Explanation:
Applying,
q = cm(t₂-t₁).................... Equation 1
Where q = change in heat content of the system, c = specific heat capacity of the system, m = mass of the system, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature.
From the question,
Given: m = 79 g = 0.079 kg, t₁ = 21°C, t₂ = 143°C
Constant: c = 4200 J/kg.°C
Substitute these values into equation 1
q = 4200(0.079)(143-21)
q = 331.8(122)
q = 40479.6 J
