Answer:
The amount of heat gained is 5225 J
Explanation:
The specific heat of a substance is the quantity or amount of heat required to change the temperature of a unit mass of the substance by 1.
Thus,
Q = mcΔθ
where: Q is the quantity of heat required, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat capacity of the substance and Δθ is the change in temperature of the substance.
From the question, given that: m = 250 g, initial temperature = 25, final temperature = 30
and specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g
.
So that; the quantity of heat, Q, required is;
Q = 250 × 4.18 × (30 - 25)
= 250 × 4.18 × 5
= 5225 Joules
⇒ Q = 5225 J
Therefore, the amount of heat gained is 5225 J.

There can be a lot of meanings for isomers. In this case, we are showing the structural isomers of C₇H₁₆. Based on the chemical formula, CₓH₂ₓ₊₂ it is an alkane. They only differ in the positions of methane branches in the parent carbon chain. Basing on the attached picture, the parent carbon chain is pentane for both isomers. But the methyl branches are on the 2nd & 4th, and 2nd & 3rd carbon for 2,4 - dimethylpentane and 2,3 - dimethylpentane, respectively.
