physics question?
The water in the Arctic Ocean has a total mass of 1.33 x 10^19 kg. The average temperature of the water is estimated to be 4 C. what would the temperature of the water in the Arctic Ocean be if the energy produced in 1000 years by the worlds largest plant if 4.2 x 10^20 J of energy was added to it over the time period? (absorb energy)

If that energy amount is per year; then
1000 * 4.2E20 J = 1.33E19kg * 4186J/kg * (T - 4ºC)
T = 11.5 ºC
And if that was instead the TOTAL energy amount, then the final temperature is only 4.01 ºC
