Heat energy = mass × specific heat capacity × change in temperature.
Heat energy = 4130 J, specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g/C, the mass of water = 52 g, if final temperature is T
4130 = 52 × 4.18 ×(T-10)
4130 = 217.36 T - 2173.6
217.36 T = 6303.6
T = 29
Therefore the final temperature is 29 °C
