Q: A student heats 100 g of water from 20°C to 80°C. How much energy (in joules) is required? ($$1\ \mathrm{cal} = 4.184\ \mathrm{J}$$, $$1\ \mathrm{cal}$$ heats $$1\ \mathrm{g}$$ water by $$1^{\circ}$$\mathrm{C}$$)

$$Q = 100\ \mathrm{g} \times 60$$^{\circ}$$\mathrm{C} \times 4.184\ \mathrm{J} = 25,104\ \mathrm{J}$$
