How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.368kg of copper from 23.0 ∘c to 60.0 ∘c? the specific heat of copper is 0.0920 cal/(g⋅∘c)

The heat required to raise the temperature of the copper is .

Further Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the copper is .

The specific heat capacity of copper is .

Concept:

The specific heat capacity of a particular substance is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of unit mass of the substance by .

The change I temperature required to heat the copper is given as.

Substitute the final and initial values of temperature.

The expression for the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the copper is.

Here, is the amount of heat required, is the mass of the substance, is the specific heat capacity and is the change in temperature required.

Substitute the values in above expression.

Thus, the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the copper from to is .
