Verified Answer :

Heat = Mass of water specific heat of water temperature rise= 
15 g 4.18 J/g K 3K = 188J

The amount of heat absorbed by water is 188.28 J.

we know that, specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of substance by 1 .0C

C = Q /WΔT

Q= CWΔT

C= specific heat capacity

Q= amount of heat absorbed

W = weight of substance

ΔT = change in temperature  

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g.0C

Given that,

W = 15 g  

ΔT = 3.0C

Q= CWΔT  

Q =4.184J/g. 0C15g*3.0C

Q= 188.28 J

Thus, we can conclude that, the amount of heat absorbed by water is 188.28 J.
