Question

The specific heat of copper metal is 0. 385 J/(g °C). How much energy must be added to a 35. 0-gram sample of copper to change the temperature from 20. 0 °C to 65. 0 °C? 270 J 606 J 809 J 1,130 J.

Answer 1

The amount of heat required for changing the temperature of copper has been 606 J. Thus, option B is correct.

Specific heat has been defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance by 1 degree Celsius.

The heat required to raise the temperature has been expressed as:

$\rm Heat=mass\;\times\;specific\;heat\;\times\;Change\;in\;temperature$

Computation for the heat energy required

The given specific heat of copper has been $\rm 0.385\;J/g^\circ C$

The mass of copper has been, $\rm 35\;g$

The initial temperature of copper has been, $\rm 20^\circ C$

The final temperature of copper has been, $\rm 65^\circ C$

The change in temperature has been, $\Delta T$

$\Delta T=\text{Final\;temperature-Initial\;temperature}\\\Delta T =65^\circ \text C-20^\circ \text C\\\Delta T=45^\circ \text C$

Substituting the values for the heat required as:

$\rm Heat=35\;g\;\times\;0.385\;J/g^\circ C\;\times\;45^\circ C\\Heat=606\;J$

The amount of heat required for changing the temperature of copper has been 606 J. Thus, option B is correct.
