Answer:

D. 450 J/kgK

Explanation:

Using the formula as follows:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where:

Q = amount of heat absorbed/released (J)

m = mass of substance (g)

c = specific heat capacity

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

According to the information provided in this question:

Q = 267.3 kJ = 267300J

m = 18kg

∆T = 318K - 285K = 33K

c = ?

Q = m × c × ∆T

c = Q ÷ m∆T

c = 267300 ÷ 18 × 33

c = 267300 ÷ 594

c = 450 J/kgK
