Two things you should be aware of. First, it is 2.5 LITERS (not litter).
Second, the density of water is 1000 kg/m3.
First, how much heat do we get from burning 20.0 g petrol. That is
43,640 kJ x (20.0 g/1000 g) = 872.8 kJ. How will the temperature of the water change. That is q = mass H2O x specific heat H2O x delta T
872.8 kJ = 2.5 kg x 4.18 kJ/kg*C x delta T.
Solve for delta T.
Post your work if you get stuck.
