Question

a 4.50 g coin of copper absorbed 54 calories of heat. what was the final temperature of the copper if the initial temperature was 25°C? the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.092 cal/g°C

Answer 1

The final temperature of copper is 155.43°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to apply is Q=m*Δt*c where ;

Q=heat energy, m=mass, c=specific heat capacity and Δt= change in temperature

Given that Q=54 calories , m=4.50 g and c=0.092 cal/g°C

In this question find Δt then ,the final temperature.

Δt=Q/m*c

Δt=54/4.50*0.092 =130.43°C

To find final temperature, apply the formula;

Δt=Final temperature - Initial temperature

130.43°C=Final temperature-25°C

130.43°C+25°C=Final temperature

155.43°C
