How much energy would it take to heat a section of the copper tubing that weighs about 610.0 g , from 14.99 ∘C to 25.85 ∘C ? Copper has a specific heat of 0.3850 J/(g⋅∘C).

Answer 1

q = mC∆T

q = heat = ?

m = mass = 610.0 g

C = specific heat = 0.3850 J/gº

∆T = change in temperatuer =25.85º - 14.99º = 10.86ºª

q = (610.0 g)(0.3850 J/gº)(10.86º)

q = 2550. J
