URGENT PLEASE HELP!!!

Type the correct answer in the box. Spell all words correctly.
Find the amount of energy (Q) required to raise the temperature of the water in kilojoules (KJ).
Given mass of water m = 2kg = 2000g.
Temperature difference ΔΤ = T2 – T1 = 60 °C – 25 °C = 35 °C .
Specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g* °C .
Therefore, Q =
kilo joules.

Answer:

Q = 292.6 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's make sure all the values are in appropriate units.

C (specific heat of water) = 4.18 J/g °C

m (mass of water) = 2000 g

∆T = 35 °C

The equation for the needed amount of energy is:

Q = m • C • ∆T

So, we simply multiply the given values:

Q = 2000 • 4.18 • 35

Q = 292600 J

If we want the answer in kilojoules (kJ), we simply divide the value in joules with 1000:

Q = 292600 / 1000 = 292.6 kJ

I hope this helps.
