Answer:

The temperature of this sample changes by 1.052 degrees Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know


Q = mc\Delta T

Where m is the mass of the substance

c is the specific heat of the substance

and
\Delta T is the change in temperature

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -


114.6 = 108.9 * 1 * \Delta T\\\Delta T = 1.052degree Celsius

The temperature of this sample changes by 1.052 degrees Celsius
