If 500.0 mL of olive oil, initially at 25.0 C, receives 1.25 kJ of heat energy, what is its final temperature?

To find the final temperature, we can use the equation Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat energy, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature. In this case, we know the heat energy received (Q) and the initial temperature (T1), but we don't have the mass or the specific heat capacity of olive oil. Can you provide those values?
