Solution

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

Q = mcΔT

where: Q = heat energy (Joules) m = mass (grams) c = specific heat capacity (Joules/gram °C) ΔT = change in temperature (°C)

For water, the specific heat capacity (c) is 4.18 J/g°C.

Given: m = 20.0 g ΔT = 40.0°C - 30.0°C = 10.0°C

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Q = (20.0 g)(4.18 J/g°C)(10.0°C) = 836 J

So, the closest answer is D. 840 J.
