Answer: The amount of energy required will be 8856 Joules.
Explanation:
To calculate the amount of heat absorbed, we use the equation:
[tex]Q=mc\Delta T[/tex]
where,
Q = heat absorbed or released
m = Mass of the substance = 123 kg
c = specific heat capacity of water = [tex]1J/kg.K[/tex]
[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = change in temperature = [tex](97-25)^oC=72^oC=72K[/tex] (change remains the same)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]Q=123kg\times 1J/kg.K\times 72K\\\\Q=8856J[/tex]
Hence, the amount of energy required will be 8856 Joules.
