    0.4762 J/g°C.

    Explanation:

    It is known that:

    The amount of heat released to water = Q = m. c.ΔT.

    where, m is the mass of water (m = 15.0 g).

    c is the specific heat capacity of water = ? J/g°C.

    ΔT is the temperature difference = (final T - initial T = 37.0°C - 30.0°C = 7.0°C).

    ∴ The specific heat capacity of water = c = Q/m.ΔT = (50.0 J) / (15.0 g) (7.0°C) = 0.4762 J/g°C.
