Answer:

877800 Joules of energy is released

Step-by-step explanation:

mass m = 3000 g

initial temperature = 80 c

Final temperature = 10 c

Change in temperature ΔT = 80 - 10 = 70 c

Heat H = ?

The relationship between these parameters is given by;

H = mcΔT

Where c = specific heat capacity = 4.18 J/gc

H = 3000 * 4.18 * 70 = 877800 Joules
