This problem is providing the mass, energy, initial temperature and specific heat of a sample of copper that is required to calculate the final temperature.
Thus, we recall the general heat equation:
[tex]Q=mC(T_f-T_i)\\[/tex]
Which has to be solved for the final temperature, [tex]T_f[/tex] as follows:
[tex]T_f=T_i+\frac{Q}{mC}[/tex]
Finally, we plug in the numbers to obtain:
[tex]T_f=85\°C+\frac{600J}{35.66g*0.38\frac{J}{g\°C} } \\\\T_f=129.3\°C[/tex]
However, this result is not given in the choices.
