How many kilojoules are needed to raise the temperature of 234 g of water from 19.8 C to 33.1 C?

Answer:
13 kJ
Explanation:
Use the following formula where Q is the Joules needed, m is the mass of the substance, c is the heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
Q = mcΔT
The heat capacity of water is 4.186 J/g°C. The mass of water is 234 g. The change in temperature is 13.3°C.
Q = mcΔT
Q = (234 g)(4.186 J/g°C)(13.3°C)
Q = 13,027 J
Since the answer is in Joules, convert to kiloJoules.
13,027 J = 13.027 kJ ≈ 13 kJ
