I just had this question and this was the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer: 3000 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

`Q= m* c* \Delta T`

Q= heat gained or absorbed

m= mass of the substance = 500g

c = heat capacity of water= 1 cal/g ° C

`\Delta T={\text{Change in temperature}}=(56-50)^0C=6^oC`

`Q=500g* 1cal/g^oC*6^oC`

`Q=3000calories`

Thus heat absorbed by 500 g of water is 3000 calories
