q = mass x specific heat x (Tfinal-Tinitial)

To find the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance, we need to use the formula:

q = m * C * ΔT

Where:
q is the heat energy (in Joules)
m is the mass of the substance (in grams)
C is the specific heat capacity of the substance (in J/g°C)
ΔT is the change in temperature (in °C)

In this case, we have:
m = 68.0 g (mass of AIF3)
C = ?? (specific heat capacity of AIF3)
ΔT = (final temperature - initial temperature) = (80.0°C - 25.0°C)

To find the specific heat capacity of AIF3, we need to look it up in a reliable source (such as a chemistry reference book or online database). The specific heat capacity varies depending on the substance.

Once you have the value of C, you can plug in the numbers into the equation to calculate the heat energy:

q = 68.0 g * C * (80.0°C - 25.0°C)

Remember to make sure all units are consistent before performing the calculation.
