The energy required to heat 40g of water from -7 c to 108 c is
1541000 joules

calculation

Q(heat)= M( mass) x c(specific heat capacity) xdelta t( change in temperature)

M= 40g= 40/1000= 0.04 Kg
C= 335,000 j/kg/c
delta T ( 108 --7= 115 c)

Q is therefore = 0.04 g x 335000 j/kg/c x 115 c = 1541,000 joules
