    5.01*10^9 J is the energy required

    Explanation:

    This is a calorimetry problem:

    Q = m. C. ΔΤ where:

    Q = heat

    m = mass

    ΔΤ = Final T° - Initial T°

    First of all we determine the pool's volume with the measures

    10 m. 4m. 3m = 120m3

    As water density is 1g/mL we can determine water's mass but firstly we must convert the m3 to cm3

    1mL = 1cm3

    1m3 = 1x10^6 cm3

    120 m3. 1x10^6 cm3 / 1m3 = 1.2x10^8 cm3

    Water density = water mass / water volume

    1 g / mL = water mass / 1.2x10^8 mL

    Water mass = 1.2x10^8 g

    Then, we replace the data in the formula

    Q = 1.2x10^8 g. 4.18 J/g°C (30°C - 20°C)

    Q = 1.2x10^8 g. 4.18 J/g°C. 10°C

    Q = 5016000000 joules

    5.01*10^9 J
