Explanation:

<h2>For Copper</h2>

dH copper = mCdT copper

<em>(Specific Heat of copper=0.385 J/g C ) </em>

dH = 500 g (0.385 J/g C) (78 C rise)

dH = 15,015 Joules

<h2> For Water</h2>

dH water = m C dT water

<em>(Specific Heat of copper=</em>4.184 J/g-C<em>) </em>

<em />

dH = 400 g (4.184 J/g-C) (78 C rise)

dH = 130,540 Joules

total heat = 15,015 + 130,540 = 145,555 Joules

<h2>Percentage for Water </h2>

(130,540 Joules / 145,555 Joules) x 100 = 89.7 %

If we consider that we have 3 Significant Figures,

then, the answers become ,

15.0 KJ must be added for Copper

130.5 KJ must be added for Water

and the total of 145 KJ must be added in the kettle with the water

89.7 % of heat goes to the Water
