Answer:

[tex]\Large \boxed{\sf 900 \ J}[/tex]

Explanation:

Use formula

[tex]\displaystyle \sf Energy\ (J)=mass \ (g) \times specific \ heat \ capacity \ (Jg^{-1}\°C^{-1}) \times change \ in \ temperature \ (\°C)[/tex]

Substitute the values in formula and evaluate

[tex]\displaystyle \sf Energy\ (J)=30.0\ g \times 2.0 \ Jg^{-1}\°C^{-1} \times (15\°C-0\°C)[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle Q=30.0 \times 2.0 \times (15-0 )=900[/tex]
