Answer:

The amount of heat transferred from the banana is (-)7.54 KJ

Explanation:

As we know,

[tex]Q = m*c*\Delta T[/tex]

Q = Amount of heat transferred

m = mass of banana

[tex]T_2 = 5[/tex] degree Celsius

[tex]T_1 = 20[/tex] degree Celsius

The amount of heat transferred from the banana =

[tex]0.15 * 3.35 * (5 -20)\\-7.54[/tex]KJ (negative sign represents reduction in heat energy)
