The kiloton, which is used to measure the energy released in an atomic explosion, is equal to 4.2 X 1012 J (approximately the energy released in the explosion of 1000 tons of TNT). Recall that 1 kilocalorie of energy raises the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 °C and that 4184 joules is equal to 1 kilocalorie. Show that the temperature of 4.0 X 108 kilograms of water can be increased 50°C by a 20-kiloton atomic bomb.
