If you wish to warm 110kg of water by 18 degrees C for your bath how much heat is required?

Heat= mass*specificheat*TempChange

Put the mass in kg, choose the specific heat constant in units of J/(kg-C), and use the 18C as the temp change.

To calculate the amount of heat required, we will use the formula:

Heat = Mass * Specific Heat * Temperature Change

Given:
Mass of water (m) = 110 kg
Specific heat of water (c) = 4186 J/(kg·°C)
Temperature change (ΔT) = 18 °C

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Heat = 110 kg * 4186 J/(kg·°C) * 18 °C

Now, let's do the calculation:

Heat = 110 kg * 4186 J/(kg·°C) * 18 °C
= 838,680 J/°C * kg * 18 °C

Calculating this further, we have:

Heat = 838,680 J/°C * kg * 18 °C
= 15,096,240 J

Therefore, you would need approximately 15,096,240 Joules of heat to warm 110 kg of water by 18 degrees Celsius.
