Answer:

980 J, B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that.

mass of substance, m = 75 g

initial temperature of system, θ1 = 150° C

final temperature of system, θ2 = 250° C

specific heat capacity, c = 0.13 J/gC

Q = mcΔθ, where

Q = quantity of heat required in J

m = mass of substance in G

c = specific heat capacity of substance in J/gC

Δθ = change in temperature °C

Δθ = θ2 - θ1

Δθ = 250° C - 150° C

Δθ = 100° C

now that we have all our values, what we do next is to substitute and apply all in the initial formula given

Q = mcΔθ

Q = 75 * 0.13 * 100

Q = 7500 * 0.13

Q = 975 J

Thus, we can say they amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 75g of gold, from 150° - 250° is 975 J, which is approximately, 980 J.

Option B
