Question

How much energy is required to heat up a Styrofoam cup from 25oC to 40oC? The mass of the cup is 20 grams and the specific heat capacity of Styrofoam is 1.1 J/(g *oC). Group of answer choices

Answer 1

`Q=330J`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the energy involved during a heating process is calculated as shown below:

`Q=mC(T_2-T_1)`

Whereas we consider the mass, heat capacity and temperature; we are able to plug in the given data to obtain:

`Q = 20g*1.1(J)/(g\°C)(40\°C-25\°C)\\\\Q = 330J`
