Final answer:

To raise the temperature of the lead sample to 724.00°C, 2.2258 kJ of heat is needed.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. 125.4 kJ.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of solid lead, we can use the formula:

q = mcΔT

Where:

q = heat

m = mass of the substance (in grams)

c = specific heat capacity of the substance (in J/g°C)

ΔT = change in temperature (in °C)

First, we need to calculate the initial temperature difference (ΔT1) and the final temperature difference (ΔT2).

ΔT1 = 724.00°C - 303.00°C = 421.00°C

ΔT2 = 303.00°C - 303.00°C = 0.00°C

Next, we can calculate the heat needed to raise the temperature from 303.00°C to 724.00°C

q1 = mcΔT1

q1 = (41.70g)(0.128J/g°C)(421.00°C) = 2225.8J

Finally, we can calculate the heat needed to raise the temperature from 303.00°C to 303.00°C:

q2 = mcΔT2

q2 = (41.70g)(0.128J/g°C)(0.00°C) = 0J

The total heat needed is the sum of q1 and q2:

q = q1 + q2 = 2225.8J + 0J = 2225.8J

To convert J to kJ, we divide by 1000

q = 2.2258kJ

Therefore, the correct answer is A. 125.4 kJ.
