Heat supplied to the gold will raise the temperature of the gold from 20 degree Celsius to 90 degree Celsius.

Mass of the gold (m) = 0.072 kg

Temperature change (ΔT) = 90 - 20 = 70 degree Celsius

Specific heat capacity of the gold (c) = 136 J/kg C

Heat supplied = m × c × ΔT

Heat supplied = 0.072 × 136 × 70

Heat supplied = 685.44 Joules

Hence, the heat supplied to the gold to raise the temperature from 20 degree Celsius to 90 degree Celsius = 685.44 Joules
