An iron piston in a compressor has a mass of 3.62 kg. If the specific heat of iron is 0.449 J/g°C, how much heat is required to raise the temperature of the piston from 12.0°C to 111.0°C?
I got Q=3620(4.184)(99) which equals 160.91 but the answer is 1.61x10^5. Where did I go wrong?

Explanation:
#DeltaE# = change in energy (#J# )#m# = mass of the object (#kg# )#c# = specific heat capacity of the object (#J# #kg^(-1)# #K^(-1)# )#Deltatheta# = change in temperature (#K# )
