Answer: =0.26J/gC

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the solid requires 124 J of heat to raise the temperature of 95.5 g of substance from 20.0 to 25.0. The specific heat required would be:

Specific heat = energy required / (temperature difference × mass )

=124J / (5C × 95g)

= 124J / 495gC

=0.26J/gC
