Answer:
146.0 degrees C
Explanation:
To answer this question, use the equation q = mcΔT
q = heat absorbed (J)
m = mass (g)
c = specific heat capacity (J/g*C)
delta T = change in temp in degrees C (final temp - initial temp)
We know the mass, the specific heat capacity, the heat, and the initial temp. Let's solve for the final temp (T)
3275 J = 50 g x 0.50 J/g*C x (T - 15 C)
3275 J = 25 J/C x (T - 15 C)
131 C = T - 15 C
146.0 C = T (temp final)
