the heat (Q) required to raise the temp of a substance is:Q=m∗Cp∗ΔT where m is the mass of the object (25.0g in this case), Cp is the specific heat capacity of the substance (for water Cp = 1.00cal/gC, or 4.18J/gC,
and Dt is the change in temp.
You'll have to solve this twice, once with the Cp in calories, and once with the Cp in joules.
1380.72 Joules
