    Required energy = 4758 J

    Explanation:

    Specific heat capacity of a material is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram (kg) of that material through one degree Celsius (°C).

    Given data:

    Specific heat capacity = c = 2440 J/kg.°C

    Mass = m = 150 g = 0.15 kg

    Initial temperature = 22°C

    Final temperature = 35°C

    Change in Temperature = ΔT = 13°C

    Energy = E = ?

    Using the following formula and substituting the values, we get:

    E = m * c * ΔT

    E = 0.15 * 2440 * 13

    E = 4758 J
