If a sample of chloroform is initially at 25°C, what is its final temperature if 150.0 g of chloroform absorb?

If a sample of chloroform is initially at 25°C, what is its final temperature if 150.0 g of chloroform absorbs 1.0 kilojoules of heat, and the specific heat of chloroform is 0.96 J/g°C? Home work help please. Thank you very much; your answers are greatly appreciated!

    q = mass x specific heat x delta T

    1000 J = 150 g x 0.96 J/g-deg x Tf-Ti

    1000 J = 144 (Tf - 25)

    1000 J = 144Tf - 3600

    144Tf = 4600

    Tf = 4600/144 = 31.9 degrees C
