Question

Determine the heat needed to warm 25.3 g of copper from 22 degrees celsius to 39 degrees celsius.

Answer 1

Answer:

The heat needed to warm 25.3 g of copper from 22°C to 39°C is 165.59 Joules.

Explanation:

$Q=mc\Delta T$

Where:

Q = heat absorbed  or heat lost

c = specific heat of substance

m = Mass of the substance

ΔT = change in temperature of the substance

We have mass of copper = m = 25.3 g

Specific heat of copper = c = 0.385 J/g°C

ΔT  = 39°C - 22°C = 17°C

Heat absorbed by the copper :

$Q=25.3 g\times 0.385 J/g^oC\times 17^oC=165.59 J$

The heat needed to warm 25.3 g of copper from 22°C to 39°C is 165.59 Joules.
