First, convert the mass of gold from grams to moles using the atomic mass of gold. Use the formula: \( \text{moles of gold} = \frac{\text{mass of gold (g)}}{\text{atomic mass of gold (g/mol)}} \).
Next, calculate the heat released in joules. Since the heat is given in kilojoules, convert it to joules by multiplying by 1000: \( \text{heat (J)} = \text{heat (kJ)} \times 1000 \).
Use the formula for heat transfer: \( q = m \cdot C \cdot \Delta T \), where \( q \) is the heat released, \( m \) is the moles of gold, \( C \) is the molar heat capacity, and \( \Delta T \) is the change in temperature.
Rearrange the formula to solve for the change in temperature: \( \Delta T = \frac{q}{m \cdot C} \).
Substitute the values for \( q \), \( m \), and \( C \) into the equation to find \( \Delta T \).
