Answer:

136000 J or 136 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Heat = m * c * deltaH

Givens

m= 0.5 kg

c = 3400 J / (kg * oC)

Deltat = (100oC – 20oC)

deltat = 80oC

Solution

Heat = 0.5 kg * 3400 J/(kg* oC) * 80oC

Heat = 136000 Joules

Heat = 136 kg

Technically there is only 1 place of accuracy.
