Answer:

10.5kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

q=m⋅c⋅ΔT, where

q - heat absorbed

m - the mass of the sample

c - the specific heat of the substance

T - the change in temperature, defined as final temperature minus initial temperature

q = 100g x 4.18 J/G x C x (50.0 -25.0) C

cross out C and G

q = 10,450j

10,450J⋅1 kJ/10^3J=

10.5 kJ

or kilojoules
