Answer:
The secret to this is in the constant called Specific Heat Capacity of Water, which is essentially 4.186 joules per gram, per °C.
Now, We have
5 kg of water = 5,000 gram of water
Temperature Difference = 100 °C - 20 °C = 80 °C
All you need to do is essentially multiply specific Heat Capacity with the two values above.
The magnitude of Heat in Joules =
(4.186 J / g °C) x (5,000 g) x (80 °C) = 1,674,400 Joules
You can convert this into Kilo Joules by dividing it with 1,000, and further into Mega Joules by dividing again with 1,000.
