The student places 0.5 kg of potato into a pan of water.
During cooking, the temperature of the potato increases from 20 °C to 100 °C
The specific heat capacity of the potato is 3400 J/kg °C
Calculate the change in thermal energy of the potato.
Use the equation:
change in thermal energy = mass * specific heat capacity temperature change
