Answer:

47947.52 J.

Explanation:

From the question,

Amount of heat given of (Q) = mc(t₁–t₂).................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of water, c = specific heat capacity of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature.

Given, m = 640 g = 640 g, c = 4.816 J/g°C, t₁ = 76 °C, t₂ = 28 °c.

Substitute these values into equation 1 above

Q = 640×4.816(48)

Q = 147947.52 J.

Hence the amount of heat given off is 47947.52 J.
