Question

.calculate amount of heat required to rais the temperature of 50 g og copper by 70 K? (specific heat of copper is 0.385 J/g.K.

Answer 1

To determine the heat required (Q) to increase the temperature of a substance we can apply the following equation:

`Q=mCp\Delta T`

where,

m is the mass of the substance, 50g

Cp is the specific heat of the substance, 0.386J/g.K

deltaT is the temperature difference, 70K

Now, we have the values we need to calculate the heat required, we replace the known data into the equation:

`Q=50g*0.385(J)/(g.K)*70K=1347.5J`

The heat required to raise the temperature of 50 g of copper by 70 K will be 1347.5J
