Answer:

Q = 50.25 [J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation that relates the temperature change with the mass and with the specific heat.

Q = m*Cp*(DT)

where:

Q = energy in form of heat [J]

m = mass = 5 [g] = 0.005 [kg]

Cp = specific heat = 1005 [J/kg*°C]

DT = temperature change = 10 [°C]

Now replacing:

Q = 0.005*1005*10

Q = 50.25 [J]
