    he amount of heat gained by the water is 1.59 kJ

    Explanation:

    Relation between heat energy, specific heat and temperature change is as follows

    Q = mCΔT

    where, Q or q = heat energy

    m = mass

    C = specific heat = 4.186J/g°C

    ΔT = (28°C - 25°C) = 3°C

    Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

    Q = mCΔT

    = 127 * 4.186 * 3

    = 1594.86 J or 1.59 kJ

    Therefore, we can conclude that the amount of heat gained by the water is 1.59 kJ
