so it would be..
9.4g x 4.184 x (31-15)? and also what would the unit be?

9.4 g x 4.184 J/g*C x (31 C - 15 C) = 629.3 g(J/g*C)(C) = J Note how I've written out the units to show the g and C units cancel to leave just J.
The problem asks for 2 s.f. so I would write 630 J. You may prefer to write it as 6.3E2 J but 630 J is correct to 2 s.f. also.
