Duncan knows that it takes 36400 cal of energy to heat a pint of water from room temperature to boiling. However, Duncan has prepared ramen noodles so many times he does not need to measure the water carefully. If he happens to heat 0.800 pint of room-temperature water, how many kilojoules of heat energy will have been absorbed by the water at the moment it begins to boil?

Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{\text{122 000 J}}[/tex]

Explanation:

1. Calculate the energy needed

[tex]\text{Energy} = \text{0.800 pt} \times \dfrac{\text{36 400 cal}}{\text{1 pt}} = \text{ 29 120 cal}[/tex]

2. Convert calories to joules

[tex]\text{Energy} = \text{29 120 cal} \times \dfrac{\text{4.184 J}}{\text{1 cal}} = \textbf{122 000 J}\\\\\text{The water will have absorbed $\large \boxed{\textbf{122 000 J}}$}[/tex]
