How much heat is required to increase the temperature of 0.5 kg of water from 10°C to 65°C?                                                                                                                   (115500 J)

Difficulty: Easy

Solution:               Mass of water = m = 0.5 kg
                               Initial temperature = $T_{1}$ = 10°C = 10 + 273 = 283 K
                               Final temperature = $T_{2}$ = 65°C = 65 + 273 = 338 K 
                               Change in temperature = $\triangle$ T = $T_{2} - T_{1}$ = 338 – 283 = 55 K
                               Heat =$ \triangle Q$ = ?
                               $\triangle Q$ = $mc \triangle T$
                               $\triangle Q = 0.5\times 2400 \times55$
                               $\triangle Q$ = 115500J
