    Correct answer: c = 520 J/kg °K

    Explanation:

    The formula for calculating the amount of heat delivered to a given substance is:

    Q = m · c · ΔT

    the temperature difference is the same on the Kelvin scale and the Celsius scale

    ΔT = Δt = 320 °K - 315 °K = 47 C° - 42 C° = 5 °K

    c = Q / (m · ΔT) = 5,200 J / (2 kg · 5 °K) = 5,200 J / 10 kg °K = 520 J/kg °K

    c = 520 J/kg °K

    an unknown substance conducts heat well and could be metal

    God is with you!
