    Explanation:

    Initial temperature (T1) = 25°C

    Final Temperature (T2) = 36°C

    Heat energy = 3760J

    Specific heat capacity of water (c) = 4.184J/g°C

    Mass (m) = ?

    Heat energy = Mc∇T

    Q = mc∇T = mc (T2 - T1)

    3760 = m * 4.184 * (36 - 25)

    3760 = 4.184m * 11

    3760 = 46.024m

    M = 3760 / 46.024

    M = 81.69g

    Mass of water is 81.69g
