Description : How many grams of copper could be heated from 20 oC to 75 oC if 1200 calories are applied to it?
Last Answer : The mass of copper is 240 g.Use the following formula:q = m x c x DeltaT,where:q is energy, m is mass, c is specific heat capacity, and DeltaT is the change in temperature.DeltaT = Tfinal-TinititalKnownq = 1200 ... = q/(c x DeltaT)m = 1200/(0.0923 x 55) = 240 g (rounded to two significant figures)
