Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for heat transfer:

Q = mcΔT

where:

  • Q is the heat energy
  • m is the mass of the substance (in this case, water)
  • c is the specific heat capacity (for water, it's approximately 4.18 J/g°C)
  • ΔT is the change in temperature

Given: m = 1500 g ΔT = 52°C - 25°C = 27°C c = 4.18 J/g°C

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Q = 1500 g * 4.18 J/g°C * 27°C = 169,290 J

Since 1 kJ = 1000 J, we convert 169,290 J to kJ by dividing by 1000:

Q = 169.29 kJ

So, the heat required to raise the temperature of 1500 g of water from 25 °C to 52 °C is approximately 169.29 kJ. The closest answer to this is 169 kJ (option b).
