Question

A coffee cup has a heat capacity of 62.6 - If the coffee cup's temperature increases by 1.20°C, how much heat has it

absorbed?
Select the correct answer below:
?

Answer 1

75.12 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

Q = CΔT................ equation 1

Where Q = amount of heat, C = Heat capacity, ΔT = temperature rise.

From the question,

Given: C = 62.6 J/K, ΔT = 1.20°C

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 62.6(1.20)

Q = 75.12 J

Hence the amount of heat it absorbed is 75.12 J
