A student heats a beaker of water using a Bunsen burner as shown in the diagram.

A beaker filled with water sits on a tripod and gauze above a lit Bunsen burner.

The table below shows the data collected during the experiment.

ParameterValue
Mass of water0.50 kg
Starting temperature of water15 ∘C15\text{ }^{\circ}\text{C}15 ∘C
Final temperature of water75 ∘C75\text{ }^{\circ}\text{C}75 ∘C
Change in thermal energy of water126,000 J126,000\text{ J}126,000 J

Using the data in the table, calculate the increase in temperature of the water.
