Answer:
100 Joule
Explanation:
Amount of heat in agiven body is given by Q = m•C•ΔT
where m is the mass of the body
c is the specific heat capacity of body. It is the amount of heat stored in 1 unit weight of body which raises raises the temperature of body by 1 unit of temperature.
ΔT is the change in the temperature of body
___________________________________________
coming back to problem
m = 5g
C = 2J/gC
since, it is given that temperature of body increases by 10 degrees, thus
ΔT = 10 degrees
Using the formula for heat as given
Q = m•C•ΔT
Q = 5* 2 * 10 Joule= 100 Joule
Thus, 100 joule heat must be added to a 5g substance with a specific heat of 2 J/gC to raise its temperature go up by 10 degrees.
