You will need to add 9.4 kJ of heat.

Explanation:

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

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

where

mcolor(white)(ll) is the mass
c color(white)(ml) is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the change in temperature

In your problem,

m color(white)(ll)= "27 g"
c color(white)(ml)= "4.184 J·°C"^"-1""g"^"-1"
ΔT = "83 °C"

q = 27 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g"))) × "4.184 J"·color(red)(cancel(color(black)("°C"^"-1"·"g"^"-1"))) × 83 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("°C"))) = "9400 J" = "9.4 kJ"
