Answer:

15 grams of water will absorb 2,500 Joules  in going from 20.0 to 60.0 C.

Explanation:

The heat involved in raising a mass (m) of a substance with a specific heat (c) from one temperature to another (Delta T) is given by:

Heat = mc(Delta T)

2,500 Joules = m*(4.186J/gC)*(60C-20C)

2,500 Joules = m*(4.186J/gC)*(40C)

2,500 Joules = m*(4.186J/gC)*(40C)

m = (2,500J)/(4.186*40J/g)

m = 14.93 grams
