Answer:

5.643 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

The quantity of heat released or absorbed by a substance (Q) is given by the equation:

Q = mcΔT

Where m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat of substance and ΔT is the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature.

Given that:

m = 45 g, Final temperature = 48°C, Initial temperature = 18°C, c = specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g°C

ΔT = Final temperature - Initial temperature = 48°C - 18°C = 30°C

The quantity of heat is:

Q = mcΔT = 45 g × 4.18 J/g°C × 30°C = 5643 J

Q = 5.643 kJ
