Answer:

Total amount of heat absorption = 46720 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of heat absorbed by 500g of water in the sun can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the water (500g) by the specific heat of water (4.184 J/g C) and the change in temperature (22°C).

This gives a total heat absorption of 46720 J.
