The amount of heat required is B) 150 J

Explanation:

The amount of heat energy required to increase the temperature of a substance is given by the equation:

[tex]Q=mC\Delta T[/tex]

where:

m is the mass of the substance

C is the specific heat capacity of the substance

[tex]\Delta T[/tex] is the change in temperature of the substance

For the sample of copper in this problem, we have:

m = 25 g (mass)

C = 0.39 J/gºC (specific heat capacity of copper)

[tex]\Delta T = 15^{\circ}C[/tex] (change in temperature)

Substituting, we find:

[tex]Q=(25)(0.39)(15)=146 J[/tex]

So, the closest answer is B) 150 J.
