Expert Solution
Step 1

The amount of energy required to heat a substance is related to its specific heat capacity and mass, and can be calculated using the equation:

Q = m × c × ΔT

where Q is the amount of energy in Joules (J), m is the mass of the substance in kilograms (kg), c is the specific heat capacity of the substance in J/(kg·°C), and ΔT is the change in temperature in degrees Celsius (°C).
