Question

Lake Erie contains roughly 4.00 x 1011 m³ of water.
(a) How much energy is required to raise the temperature of that volume of water from 15.8°C to 20.2°C? (Assume the density of this water to be equal to that of water at 20°C and 1 atm.)
(b) How many years would it take to supply this amount of energy by using the 1,400-MW exhaust energy of an electric power plant?
