Question

How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.360 kg of copper from 23.0 ∘C to 60.0 ∘C? The specific heat of copper is 0.0920 cal/(g⋅∘C

Answer 1

MThe  heat  energy  required  to  raise  the  temperature   of  0.36Kg   of  copper   from   22 c   to  60  c  is  calculate  using  the  following  formula

MC delta T
m(mass)=  0.360kg  in  grams  =  0.360  x1000 = 360 g
  c(specific  heat  energy)  =  0.0920  cal/g.c
delta T =  60- 23  = 37  c

heat  energy is therefore=  360g   x0.0920 cal/g.c  x 37  c=  1225.44  cal
