The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.092 calories per gram per degree Celsius. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of a 9 g piece of copper from 0°C to 100°C?

Respuesta :

Answer : The amount of heat required is, 82.8 cal

Explanation :

Formula used :

[tex]q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})[/tex]

where,

q = heat required = ?

m = mass of copper = 9 g

c = specific heat of copper = [tex]0.092cal/g^oC[/tex]

[tex]T_{final}[/tex] = final temperature = [tex]100^oC[/tex]

[tex]T_{initial}[/tex] = initial temperature = [tex]0^oC[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

[tex]q=9g\times 0.092cal/g^oC\times (100-0)^oC[/tex]

[tex]q=82.8cal[/tex]

Thus, the amount of heat required is, 82.8 cal
