Hi!

The substance is Gold

To know that we clear the equation q=m*C*Δt for the specific heat (C) and solve the equation. Keep in mind that we need to use the heat (0,52 kJ) in Joules since the values from the table are given in Joules. So 0,52 kJ=520 J

[tex] \frac{q}{m*\Delta T}= C= \frac{520 J}{200 g *(45 degC-25degC)}= 0,13 J/gdegC[/tex]

Looking at the table, the substance that has this specific heat is Gold.

Have a nice day!
