Given:

The mass of water is: m = 62 g = 0.062 kg

The change in temperature is: ΔT = 356 K - 273 K = 83 K

The specific heat capacity of water is: c = 4185.5 J/kgK

To find:

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 62g of water of from 273 K to 356 K.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of heat Q required to raise the temperature of mass m of a substance is given as:


Q=mc\Delta T

Here, c is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the change in the temperature of the substance.

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get:


\begin{gathered} Q=0.062\text{ kg}*4185.5\text{ J/kgK}*83\text{ k} \\ \\ Q=21538.58\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Final answer:

The amount of heat required is 21538.58 J.
