The formula to calculate the energy required to heat a substance is:

q = mcΔT

Where:
q is the energy required (in Joules)
m is the mass of the substance (in grams)
c is the specific heat capacity of the substance (in J/g°C)
ΔT is the change in temperature (in °C)

Plugging in the given values:

q = (184.0g)(1.85 J/g°C)(32.8°C - 11.38°C)

q = (184.0g)(1.85 J/g°C)(21.42°C)

q = 7272.228 J

Rounded to 3 significant digits:

q = 7270 J

Therefore, the energy required to heat 184.0g of cyclohexane from 11.38°C to 32.8°C is approximately 7270 J.
