A piece of copper alloy with a mass of 85.0 g is heated from 30oC to 45oC. In the process, it absorbs 523 J of energy as heat. What is the specific heat of this copper alloy? q=mCpΔT q: heat m: mass Cp: specific heat constant ΔT= T f-Ti T f: final temperature Ti: initial temperature

Two metal blocks that have slightly different temperatures are placed next to one another. after five minutes, they both have lower but equal temperatures. according to the law of conservation of energy, what  most likelyhappened? energy was created inside the blocks. energy was destroyed inside the blocks. energy was absorbed into the blocks from outside the system. energy was transferred from the warmer block to the cooler block.
