Question

758 j of heat are added to 0.750 kg of copper. how much does its temperature change?(unit=degrees c) PLEASE HELPPPPPPP MEEEEEE

Answer 1

Answer:

$2.6^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

When a substance is supplied with a certain amount of heat energy, the temperature of the substance increases according to the equation

$Q=mC\Delta T$

where

m is the mass of the substance

Q is the amount of energy supplied

C is the specific heat of the substance

$\Delta T$ is the temperature change

In this problem:

Q = 758 J is the energy supplied

m = 0.750 kg is the mass of the sample

$C=385 J/kg^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat of copper

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the increase in temperature:

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mC}=\frac{758}{(0.750)(385)}=2.6^{\circ}C$
