    You'd use the temperature change equation. The specific heat of water is always 4.18J / (g °C).

    Equation to use: q=mCΔT

    21.8 = (2.0) (4.18) (Tf-5)

    21.8 = (8.36) (Tf-5)

    21.8/8.36=Tf-5

    2.61=Tf-5

    2.61+5=Tf

    Tf=7.61 °C

    Since you want to know how many °C it raises, you wouldn't pay attention to the last 2 steps, however if you need to know the final temp, you want to go to the last step.
