Answer: 3510 J

Step-by-step explanation:

q = m x Cs x delta T

m = 28.0 g

Cs = 4.18 J/g x ⁰C

delta T = Final temperature - Initial temperature = 60.0⁰C - 30.0⁰C = 30.0⁰C

q = m x Cs x delta T

q = 28.0 g x (4.18 J/g x ⁰C) x 30.0⁰C = 3511.2 J

3510 J for the correct number of significant figures.

Grams and ⁰C cancel and you are left with Joules.
