Answer:

4180 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 100g by the 10c to get the amount of degrees heating the amount of grams, which is 1000.

Specific heat is how much energy it takes to heat 1 gram 1 degree celcius, which it took 1000 of.

1000* specific heat for water = Total heat energy

1000*4.18J=4180 J

It took 4180 Joules of energy to heat up 100g of water by 10 C
