The fire department decides to use the burning books to


In Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451, books are banned. Fire departments respond not to put out fires but to burn books, which combust at 451°F. Suppose the fire department decides to use the burning books to heat water for afternoon tea. This is done with a burner that transfers 75% of the  heat from the burning book to 500 mL of water on top of the stove. The water is initially at 15°C and needs to be raised to 100°C. How many copies of a 500-page book would need to be burned if the energy released is combustion is 5 J/page?
