5.0g of copper is heated from 20 Celsius to 80 Celsius. How much energy it was used to heat Cu? (Specific heat capacity of Cu is 0.092 cal/g)

the energy used to heat Cu is 27.6 Cal

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 5 g

Specific heat capacity of Cu =  0.092 cal/g

temperature T2 = 80 Celsius

temperature T1 = 20 Celsius

solution

we get here energy used to heat Cu that is express as

Q = m × c × ΔT         1

so here m = mass and c = specific heat capacity

and ΔT = T2 - T1

so put value in eq 1

Q = 5 × 0.092 × (80 - 20)

Q = 27.6 Cal

so that the energy used to heat Cu is 27.6 Cal

a plasma is a warm ionized gasoline consisting of approximately equal numbers of definitely charged ions and negatively charged electrons. the characteristics of plasmas are notably unique from the ones of ordinary neutral gases in order that plasmas are considered a awesome "fourth kingdom of remember."
