Answer:

7.06 x 10⁴ J

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of heat necessary to heat the water, you need to use the following equation:

Q = mcΔT

In this equation,

-----> Q = heat (J)

-----> m = mass (g)

-----> c = specific heat capacity (J/g°C)

-----> ΔT = change in temperature

The specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 J/g°C. You can plug the given values into the equation and simplify to find "Q".

Q = ? J c = 4.186 J/g°C

m = 225 g ΔT = 100.0°C - 25.0°C = 75.0°C

Q = mcΔT <----- Given equation

Q = (225 g)(4.186 J/g°C)(75.0°C) <----- Insert values

Q = 7.06 x 10⁴ J <----- Multiply
