Answer: The amount of energy required to raise the temperature is 13323.75 joules.
Explanation :
The amount of energy required to raise the temperature can be calculated as follows.
\(q = m\times C\times \bigtriangleup T\)
where,
q = heat energy
m = mass of water
C = specific heat
T = temperature
Remember that the specific heat of water is \(4.18\left ( \frac{J}{g^\circ C}} \right )\).
Therefore, putting the values in the above equation as follows.
\(q = m\times C\times \bigtriangleup T\)
\(= 255 g \times 4.18 \left ( \frac{J}{^\circ C}} \right )\times 12.5^oC\)
= 13323.75 joules
So, the amount of energy required to raise the temperature is 13323.75 joules.
