Question

What amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of 25 grams of copper to cause a 15º C change? The specific heat of copper is 0.39 J/gº C.
115 J

150 J

250 J

300 J

Answer 1

The answer is 150 J , your welcome

Answer 2

Answer:

$Q = 150 J$

Explanation:

Heat required to raise the temperature of the object is given as

$Q = m s \Delta T$

here we know that

m = mass of the object

m = 25 grams

s = specific heat capacity of the object

$s = 0.39 J/g ^oC$

$\Delta T$ = temperature change

$\Delta T = 15^o C$

now we know that

$Q = 25 \times 0.39 \times 15$

$Q = 150 J$
