Answer:

C.) 1345.5 J

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the energy, you need to use the following equation:

Q = mcΔT

In this equation,

-----> Q = energy (J)

-----> m = mass (g)

-----> c = specific heat (J/g°C)

-----> ΔT = change in temperature (°C)

The specific heat of aluminum is 0.89 J/g°C. You can plug the given values into the equation and solve.

Q = mcΔT

Q = (150 g)(0.89 J/g°C)(10 °C)

Q = 1335

*It is up to you whether you wish to trust this answer. My answer may be slightly different due to using a different specific heat.
