To calculate the heat given off, we need to use the formula:

q = m × c × ΔT

where:
q = heat given off
m = mass of copper (104.1 g)
c = specific heat capacity of copper (0.385 J/g °C)
ΔT = change in temperature (final temperature - initial temperature)

By substituting the given values:

ΔT = 23.0 °C - 155.0 °C = -132.0 °C (we get a negative value because the temperature is decreasing)
q = 104.1 g × 0.385 J/g°C × -132.0 °C

q = -5181.78 J

Therefore, the heat given off is -5181.78 J (or you can simply write it as 5182 J, since the negative sign indicates that heat is being released).
