Calculate the heat, in joules, required to warm

100\,\text{g}

of ethanol from

10\,^{\circ}\text{C}

55\,^{\circ}\text{C}

. (The specific heat capacity of ethanol is

2.44\,\text{J}\,\text{g}^{-1}\,^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}

and remains constant over this range.) (a)

1.34\times 10^{4}\,\text{J}

(b)

7.93\times 10^{3}\,\text{J}

(c)

1.10\times 10^{4}\,\text{J}

(d)

1.88\times 10^{4}\,\text{J}
