Final answer:
To determine the amount of energy required, use the formula Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat energy, m is the mass of the water, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the amount of energy required to heat water, we need to use the formula Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat energy, m is the mass of the water, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
In this case, we are given that the mass of the water is 100 grams. The specific heat capacity of water is approximately 4.184 J/g°C. And we need to calculate the change in temperature from minute 10 to minute 17. Let's say the temperature at minute 10 is T1 and the temperature at minute 17 is T2.
Using the formula Q = mcΔT, we have:
Q = (100 g) x (4.184 J/g°C) x (T2 - T1)
Therefore, we cannot determine the amount of energy required without the actual temperature values at minute 10 and minute 17.
