Answer:300 joules
Explanation:The formula for specific heat is:
E
=
m
c
θ
, where:
E
is the energy needed in joules,
m
is the mass in kilograms,
c
is the specific heat,
θ
is the change in temperature, Celsius of Kelvin doesn't matter.
Here,
m
=
0.125
kg
c
=
480
J/kg
∘
C
θ
=
5
∘
C
, and inputting:
E
=
0.125
⋅
480
⋅
5
E
=
300
J
of energy is needed.
