Question

Copper has a specific heat of 0,900 J(g C). How much energy in kJ is needed to raise the temperature of a 700 g block of aluminum from 30.7°C to 82,1C?(show your steps)

Answer 1

Answer:

32.4 kJ

Explanation:

Given that:

Specific heat capacity fo copper, c = 0.9

Mass of copper, m = 700 g

Temperature change, dθ ;t2 - t1 = (82.1 - 30.7) = 51.4

Energy required, E = mcdθ

E = 700 * 0.9 * 51.4

E = 32382 J

Energy required on kJ

32382 / 1000

= 32.382 kJ

= 32.4 kJ
