Thermal properties and temperature — practice question

A student heats some water in a beaker by using an immersion heater. The temperature of the water increases from $20^\circ\text{C}$ to $80^\circ\text{C}$. The energy transferred to the water is $60.0\,\text{kJ}$. What is the thermal capacity of the water? (Ignore any heat loss.)

  • A$667\,\text{J}/^\circ\text{C}$
  • B$750\,\text{J}/^\circ\text{C}$
  • C$1000\,\text{J}/^\circ\text{C}$
  • D$3000\,\text{J}/^\circ\text{C}$
