SUMMARY
The specific heat of substance X is established at 200 J/g°C. To calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of 2.0 kilograms of substance X from 40 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius, the formula Q=(m)(c)(ΔT) is applied. The temperature change (ΔT) is 15°C, and the mass is converted to grams (2000 g). The total heat required is calculated as 6,000,000 J, confirming the accuracy of the solution presented.
