Answer:

126000 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁).................. Equation 1

Where Q = Amount of heat, c = specifc heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = Initial temperature, t₂ = Final temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 2 kg, t₁ = 25°C, t₂ = 40°C

Constant: c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substitute these value into equation 1

Q = 2×4200(40-25)

Q = 2×4200×15

Q = 126000 J
