Answer:

The heat is 115478.4 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of water = 0.400 kg

Power = 200 W

Suppose, we determine how much heat must be added to the water to raise its temperature from 20.0°C to 89.0°C?

We need to calculate the heat

Using formula of heat


Q=mc\Delta T

Where, m = mass of water

c = specific heat

Put the value into the formula


Q=400*4.184*(89-20)


Q=115478.4\ J

Hence, The heat is 115478.4 J.
