The specific heat of copper is 0.386 J/g^ºC.A 20.0g sample of copper is heated from 25.0^ºC to 35.0^ºC.How much heat did the copper absorb? A)837 J B)77.2 J C)194 J D)270 J

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The heat absorbed by the copper can be calculated using the formula $q = mc\Delta T$, where $q$ is the heat absorbed, $m$ is the mass of the substance, $c$ is the specific heat capacity, and $\Delta T$ is the change in temperature. Plugging in the given values: $q = 20.0\,g \times 0.386\,J/g^\circ C \times (35.0^\circ C - 25.0^\circ C) = 77.2\,J$.

The Specific Heat of Copper Is 0
