Question

The temperature of a 0.85kg block of copper was found to be 21 degrees the copper was placed in the sun and temperature increased to 28 degrees.Assume the specific heat of copper to be 0.385J/g degrees and determine the amount of heat absorbed by the block of copper.

Answer 1

2290 . 75 J absorbed

Step-by-step explanation:

The copper changed from 21 to 28 degrees= 7 degrees

.85 kg = 850 gm

850 gm * 7 degrees * .385 J / g-degree) = 2290.75 j
