39 minutes

Explanation:

The initial temperature of the substance = 22° C.

After 14 minutes from 1:00 that is at 1:14 the temperature reaches 48 degrees. The heating is stopped at that instant.

By 2:03, it has cooled back down to 22 degrees Celsius. This mean between 1:14 to 2:03 the temperature reaches back to 22°C.

therefore, it took 39 minutes for this to happen.
