Answer:

8856joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy= MC. ©

energy = 123.00*1*(97-25)

energy =8856joules//

Answer: The amount of energy required will be 8856 Joules.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of heat absorbed, we use the equation:


Q=mc\Delta T

where,

Q = heat absorbed or released

m = Mass of the substance = 123 kg

c = specific heat capacity of water =
1J/kg.K


\Delta T = change in temperature =
(97-25)^oC=72^oC=72K (change remains the same)

Putting values in above equation, we get:


Q=123kg* 1J/kg.K* 72K\\\\Q=8856J

Hence, the amount of energy required will be 8856 Joules.
