The formula for calculating the amount of heat is expressed as
H = mcθ
where
H is the amount of heat
m is the mass of the substance
c is the specific heat capacity of the substance
θ is the change in temperature
From the information given,
m = 15 grams = 15/1000 = 0.015
c = 4186 J/KgC
Initia temperature = 100
final temperature = 37
θ = 100 - 37 = 63
H = 0.015 x 4186 x 63
H = 3955.77
The amount of heat absorbed is 3955.77 J
