Solution

The amount of heat required can be calculated using the formula:

q = mcΔT

where: q = heat energy (Joules, J) m = mass (grams, g) c = specific heat capacity (Joules per gram per degree Celsius, J g-1 K-1) ΔT = change in temperature (Kelvin, K)

Given: m = 1.00 g c = 4.184 J g-1 K-1 ΔT = 1.00 K

Substitute the given values into the formula:

q = (1.00 g) * (4.184 J g-1 K-1) * (1.00 K)

q = 4.184 J

So, the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1.00 g of water by 1.00 K is 4.184 Joules.
