    Answer: 13 grams

    Explanation:

    The quantity of heat energy (Q) released from a heated substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

    Thus, Q = MCΦ

    Since,

    Q = 202.8 Joules

    Mass of silver = ?

    C = 0.240 J/g °C.

    Φ = 65°C

    Then, Q = MCΦ

    202.8J = M x 0.240 J/g °C x 65°C

    202.8J = M x 15.6 J/g

    M = (202.8J / 15.6 J/g)

    M = 13 g

    Thus, the mass of silver is 13 grams
