Answer:

105.62 grams of water will change its temperature by 3°C when 1325 Joules of heat is added.

Step-by-step explanation:

Where:

Q is the heat energy (1325 J in this case).

m is the mass of water (what we want to find).

c is the specific heat capacity of water, which is approximately 4.18 J/(g°C).

ΔT is the change in temperature (3°C).

Now, rearrange the formula to solve for mass (m):

m = Q / (c * ΔT)

m = 1325 J / (4.18 J/(g°C) * 3°C)

m ≈ 1325 J / 12.54 J/g

m ≈ 105.62 grams
