HELP ASAP

The specific heat capacity of solid copper metal is 0.385 J/g-K. How many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of a 1.55-kg block of copper from 33.0 °C to 99.9 °C?

3.71 × 10^−6J

39.9 J

3.99 × 10^4J

0.00371 J

2.69 × 10^5 J
IT IS A CHEMISTRY QUESTION BUT WAS PUT WITH PHYSICS BY MISTAKE SORRY

Answer 1

Answer: 3.99•10⁴ J

Step-by-step explanation:

The Heat Formula is: Q = m • C • ΔT

Your given C, m, T₀, and T

C = 0.385 J/g•K

m = 1.55 kg or 1,550 g

T₀ = 33.0 °C

T = 99.9 °C

(ΔT = T - T₀)

Your only remaining variable is Q, heat, so you can now plug in your values to solve.

Q = (1550)(0.385)(99.9 - 33.0)

(ΔT(°C) = ΔT(K) because the conversion is linear)

Q = 39,922.575 J

or

3.99•10⁴ J
