    The answer to your question is: Cp = 0.14 J/g°C

    Explanation:

    Data

    mass = 25 g

    T1 = 25°C

    T2 = 155°C

    Q = 455 joules

    Cp = ?

    Formula

    Q = mCpΔT

    Clear Cp from the equation Cp = Q / (mΔT)

    Cp = 455 / ((25 (155-25))

    Cp = 455 / (25 (130))

    Cp = 455 / 3250

    Cp = 0.14 J/g°C
