    Answer: 72,000 Joules

    Explanation:

    Heat Energy Q = Mass M x Specific heat capacity C x change in temperature Φ

    Thus, Q = MCΦ

    Then, M = 2-kg

    C = 900 J / (kg°C)

    Φ = 50°C - 10°C = 40°C

    Q = 2 x 900 x 40

    Q = 72,000 Joules

    Thus, it takes 72,000 Joules of energy
