The change in temperature here corresponds to a sensible heat. The amount of energy required can be calculated by multiplying the specific heat capacity, the amount of the substance and the corresponding change in temperature.

Heat required = mCΔT

Heat required = 0.368 kg (0.0920 cal/g°C) (60 - 23) °C

Heat required = 1.25 cal
