<u>Answer:</u> The temperature increase will be 31.70°C.
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the increase in the temperature of the system, we use the equation:
where,
q = Heat absorbed = 36.5 kJ = 36500J
m = Mass of water = 275 g
c = Specific heat capacity of water =
= change in temperature = ? °C
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the temperature increase will be 31.70°C.
