It will take 24 kJ of heat.

Explanation:

The energy qq required to heat an object is given by the formula

color(blue)(bar(ul(|color(white)(a/a)q = mcΔTcolor(white)(a/a)|)))" "

where

m is the mass
c is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the change in temperature

In your problem,

m = "1 kg"
c = "664 J·K"^"-1""kg"^"-1"
ΔT = T_"f" - T_"i" = "122 °C - 86 °C = 36 °C = 36 K"

q = 1 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("kg"))) × "664 J"·color(red)(cancel(color(black)("K"^"-1"·"kg"^"-1"))) × 36 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("K"))) = "23 900 J" = "24 kJ"
