    Answer: - 5582.5J

    Explanation:

    The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) required to heat a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

    Thus, Q = MCΦ

    Since,

    Q = ?

    Mass of wood = 550 grams

    C = 2.03 (J/gºC)

    Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

    = 10°C - 15°C = - 5°C

    Then, Q = MCΦ

    Q = 550g x 2.03J/gºC x - 5°C

    Q = - 5582.5J

    Thus, - 5582.5 joules of heat is needed convert 550 grams of wood at 15°C down to 10 °C
