Solid, liquid, and gas of the same substance have different specific heat values. If 5.00 grams of this substance in the liquid phase has a specific heat value of 2.17 J/g ºC, how much energy would this need to raise the temperature from 15 ºC to 105 ºC?

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water
