heat energy is supplied to materials and can cause an increase in temperature of the material. the formula is as follows
H = mcΔt
where H - heat energy
m - mass of material
c - specific heat
Δt - change in temperature - 40.0 °C - 22.5 °C = 17.5 °C
substituting the values
H = 175 g x 0.234 Jg⁻¹°C⁻¹ x 17.5 °C
H = 716.6 J
716.6 J is required
