Answer:

Q = 33440 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass of water= 1 kg

Initial Temperature of water = 295 K

Final Temperature of water =303 K

C of water=4180 J/kg K

To find the quantity of heat;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

[tex] Q = mcdt[/tex]

Where,

Q represents the heat capacity.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 303 - 295

dt = 8K

Substituting into the equation, we have

Q = 1*4180*8

Q = 33440 Joules.
