Answer

$c\gt$$b\gt$$d$$\gt$$a$

Work Step by Step

Heat is defined as: $Q=mc$$\Delta$$T$ Where $m$ is mass $c$ is specific heat capacity , $\Delta$$T$ is the temperature change. Specific heat is same for all cases , so according to the table from the task we have : $Q$$_a$ $=$ $2.0kg$ • $15°$$C$ •$c$ $=$ $30kg°C$•$c$ $Q$$_b$ $=$ $1.5kg$ • $40°C$•$c$ $=$ $60kg°C$•$c$ $Q$$_c$$=$ $3.0kg$ • $25°C$•$c$ $=75kg°C$ •$c$ $Q$$_d$ $=$$2.5kg$ • $20°$$C$•$c$ $=$$50kg°C$•$c$ Now, we have to rank it $c$$\gt$$b$$\gt$$d$$\gt$$a$
