Answer:

41.25

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure if your teacher expects you to just find specific heat yourself, but if they do answer it using as below:

Quick search shows aluminium specific heat is 0.90 J/gC.

use formula: q = mcΔT (q = heat, m= mass, c= specific heat, ΔT is temperature change)

q = mcΔT

q/(mc) = ΔT

32.3/(0.87 x 0.90) = ΔT

ΔT = 41.25 C
