Answer: 1381.38 joules
Explanation:
The amount of heat energy (Q) required to raise the temperature of a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)
Thus, Q = MCΦ
Given that:
Q = ?
Mass of water = 0.01kg
C = 4186J/kg°C
Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)
= 37°C - 4.0°C = 33.0°C
Then, Q = MCΦ
Q = 0.01kg x 4186J/kg°C x 33.0°C
Q = 1381.38 J
Thus, 1381.38 Joules of heat energy is needed to cause this rise in temperature.
