I have a feeling that your title does not fit your question... :confused:
Remember the formula:
Q = mc\theta
Q is the total amount of heat, in joules,
m is the mass of the substance being heated (or cooled)
c is the specific heat capacity of the substance,
theta is the change in temperature.
Can you give this problem a try now? :)
