    c) 3176 J

    Explanation:

    mass of 125 popcorn = 125 x. 0001 =. 0125 kg

    increase in temperature = 175 - 21 = 154°C

    specific heat of popcorn = 1650

    heat required to increase temperature

    = mass of popcorn x increase in temperature x specific heat

    =.0125 x 154 x 1650

    = 3176.25 J
