Problem

A chemical reaction releases 3.00 kJ3.00\,\text{kJ} of heat that is completely absorbed by a liquid sample, causing its temperature to rise by 6.0 ∘ ⁣C6.0\,^{\circ}\!\text{C}. The specific heat capacity of the liquid is 2.0 J g−1 ∘ ⁣C−12.0\,\text{J}\,\text{g}^{-1}\,^{\circ}\!\text{C}^{-1}. What is the mass of the liquid? (a) 500 g500\,\text{g} (b) 250 g250\,\text{g} (c) 1000 g1000\,\text{g} (d) 1500 g1500\,\text{g}
