Breanna Pratt · Answer 1

Heat lost or gained, H = mc (θ₂ - θ₁)

Where m = mass, c = Specific heat capacity, θ₂ = final temperature, θ₁ = initial temperature

m = 200g, c = 0.444 J/g°C, θ₁ = 22 °C (Since it was cooled).

H = 6.9 kj = 6.9 * 1000J = 6900 J

6900 = 200*0.444 * (θ₂ - 22)

6900 / (200*0.444) = θ₂ - 22

77.70 = θ₂ - 22

θ₂ - 22 = 77.7

θ₂ = 77.7 + 22 = 99.7

So initial temperature before cooling ≈ 100°C. Option C.
