5000 calories Helps :)

Answer : Heat required, Q = 5000 cal

Explanation :

It is given that,

Specific heat of water, c = 1 calorie/gram °C

Mass of water, m = 500 grams

Change in temperature, [tex]\DeltaT=10\ ^oC[/tex]

We have to found the amount of heat required. Mathematically, it can be written as :

[tex]Q=mc\Delta T[/tex]

[tex]Q=500\times 1\times 10[/tex]

Q = 5000 cal

So, the correct option is (B) " 5000 cal ".

Hence, this is the required solution.
