Answer: Q=104525J

Explanation: where Q is the heat energy required to heat a mass, m , though a change in temperature of Δ T and c is the heat capacity of the material (found in books!). Typical units are Q in Joules or J , m in k g and Δ T is in either Kelvin, K , or degrees Celsius o C . The units of c depend on the other units used but J / k g o C is typical.
