The relationship between heat (q), heat capacity \mathrm{ \left(C_p\right)}, and temperature change \mathrm{ (\Delta T)} is given by the equation:

\mathrm{ q=C_p \cdot \Delta T }

We are given $C_p=50 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{K}$ and $q=500 \mathrm{~J}$. Solving for $\Delta T$ :

\mathrm{ \Delta T=\frac{q}{C_p}=\frac{500 \mathrm{~J}}{50 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{K}}=10 \mathrm{~K} }
So, the correct answer is: B)\mathrm{ 10 \mathrm{~K}}
