A sample of water is heated from 10.0 (degrees Celsius) to 15.0 (degrees Celsius) by the addition of 125 J of heat. What is the mass of the water?

(I understand what the question is asking me and I know that I have to use the formula q=m•c•DT but I don’t understand how to plug in a specific heat capacity if they don’t give it to me. Please help!!)
