Answer

Therefore the final temperature is $30.8^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

We will use the equation $q=mc\Delta t$ q = heat transferred m = mass c = specific heat $\Delta t $ = change in temperature plug in the values. 15 = (12) (0.444) ($\Delta t $) ***We multiply 12 times 0.444 and then divide 15 by that answer *** solve using a calculator $ \Delta t = 2.81^{\circ} $ Therefore the temperature change is $3.7^{\circ}$ The initial temp is 28 so the final temp= initial temp + $ \Delta t$ = 28 + 2.81 = 30.8
