Answer:
B.) 129.9 grams
Explanation:
To find the mass, you need to use the following equation:
Q = mcΔT
In this equation,
-----> Q = energy (J)
-----> m = mass (g)
-----> c = specific heat (J/g°C)
-----> ΔT = change in temperature (°C)
The specific heat of copper is 0.385 J/g°C. Knowing this, you can plug the given values into the equation and simplify to isolate "m".
Q = mcΔT <----- Equation
5000 J = m(0.385 J/g°C)(200 °C - 100 °C) <----- Insert values
5000 J = m(0.385 J/g°C)(100) <----- Subtract
5000 J = m(38.5) <----- Multiply 0.385 and 100
129.9 = m <----- Divide both sides by 38.5
