Recall the heat capacity equation:

q = mc∆T

We're given mass, specific heat capacity, as well as the change in temperature. All we need to do is plug the numbers into the variables and we'll have our answer!

Although this question doesn't try to trick you, more often than not questions regarding energy change will attempt to throw you off with specific heat capacity. It's extremely important to note the units of the specific heat capacity and ensure that the numbers you use are in those units. As an example, the specific heat capacity might be given to you in J/mol*K - in this case, you'd have to do some unit conversions with your given data in order to fit all the numbers. In this question, we're given the specific heat capacity in J/gºC, so we don't need to change anything since all of our data is already in these units.

Anyways, back to the actual question:

q = mc∆T

q = (8.50 * $10^{2}$ ) * (0.900) * (94.6 - 22.8)

q = 54927 (J)

Remeber to include significant figures:

54927 = 5.49 * 10^4 (J)

The required energy is 5.49 * $10^{4}$ Joules, or 5.49 * $10^{1}$ kJ

The answer to your question really depends on three things: how much water you have, how cold it is to start out, and how cold the things around it are. water actually freezes when it gets to 32 degrees fahrenheit (0 degrees celsius), but the time it takes to get there may be different. let's start with the first. if you take two glasses, and fill one with a tiny bit of water, and the other about halfway, then put them both in the freezer, the one with less water will freeze first (you can try this at home, but i recommend using plastic cups and not glass ones). now let's move on to the second part. let's say you have two glasses, and you fill one with really cold water that has been in the refrigerator, and the other with really hot water from the sink. if you put both of them in the freezer, the one that started out colder will freeze first. for the third part, let's imagine that you have two glasses with the same amount of water in them, and the water is at the same temperature. imagine putting one outside on a really really cold day in georgia, and having a friend in alaska put one outside on the same day. since it would be so much colder in alaska, the glass of water there would freeze before yours. so, if you took a tiny bit of really cold water in a glass, and put it outside on a cold day in alaska, it would freeze a lot faster than a big glass of hot water outside on a cold day in georgia.
