410 J
First you need to find the specific heat capacity (c) for iron, which is 0.461 J/g-oC (https://www.engineersedge.com/materials/specific_heat_capacity_of_metals_13259.htm).
The equation to use is Q=m x c x delta t, where Q is energy, m is mass, c is specific heat, and delta t is change in temperature. Delta t = Tfinal - Tinitial = 25 oC - 10 oC = 15 oC.
Plug the known values into the equation and solve.
Q = 59 g x 0.461 J/g-oC x 15 oC = 410 J (rounded to two significant figures)
