Answer:
Specific heat of copper = 0.385 J/(gi°C)
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of copper (m) = 200 g =
Initial temperature (T1) = 20°C
Final temperature (T2) = 40°C
Heat needed (Q) = 1,540 J
Find:
Specific heat of copper = ?
Computation:
⇒ Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 - T1
⇒ Change in temperature (ΔT) = 40°C - 20°C
⇒ Change in temperature (ΔT) = 20°C
⇒ Specific heat of copper = Q / [mΔT]
⇒ Specific heat of copper = 1,540 / [(200)(20)]
Specific heat of copper = 0.385 J/(gi°C)
