Question

A copper coin with a mass of 6.30 grams changes temperature in the sunshine from 20.0°C to 32.0°C. How much energy is transferred? The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.377 joules/gram degree Celsius. Express your answer to three significant figures.

The amount of energy transferred to the coin is
joules.

Answer 1

a=MCAS Z=AESDR the game for a few

Answer 2

q = mC∆T

q = heat = ?

m = mass = 6.30 g

C = specific heat = 0.385 J/g/deg

∆T = change in temperature = 32-20 = 12º

q = ((6.30 g)(0.385 J/g/deg)(12 deg) = 29.1 J (to 3 significant figures)
