How many degrees Fahrenheit can the temperature of one metric ton of water be raised with the addition of 110 thousand BTU of heat?

To determine how many degrees Fahrenheit the temperature of one metric ton of water can be raised with the addition of 110,000 BTU of heat, we can use the specific heat formula. One metric ton of water is approximately 1,000 kg, and since the specific heat of water is about 1 BTU/lb°F, this translates to roughly 2,200 BTU for 1,000 kg (or about 2,204.62 lbs). Therefore, adding 110,000 BTU would raise the temperature by approximately ( \frac{110,000 \text{ BTU}}{2,200 \text{ BTU/°F}} \approx 50 \text{ °F} ).
