Correct Option: D

Here's how to solve the problem:

  1. Identify the formula: The heat energy (Q) released or absorbed is calculated using the formula: Q = mcΔT where:

    • m = mass of the substance
    • c = specific heat capacity
    • ΔT = change in temperature (Tfinal - Tinitial)
  2. Convert units if necessary:

    • Mass (m) is given in grams (g), but the specific heat capacity is in kg. Convert the mass to kilograms: m = 60g = 60/1000 kg = 0.06 kg
  3. Identify the values:

    • m = 0.0
