Answer:

0.082g

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Heat (Q) = 0.092J

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 0.267°C

Specific heat capacity (C) of water = 4.184J/g°C

Mass (M) =..?

Thus, the mass of present can be obtained as follow:

Q = MCΔT

0.092 = M x 4.184 x 0.267

Divide both side by 4.184 x 0.267

M = 0.092 / (4.184 x 0.267)

M = 0.082g

Therefore, mass of water was present is 0.082.
