Answer : The specific heat of copper is, [tex]0.384J/g^oC[/tex]
Explanation :
Formula used :
[tex]q=m\times c\times \Delta T[/tex]
where,
q = heat absorb = 15200 J
m = mass of sample = 105 g
c = specific heat capacity of copper = ?
[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = change in temperature = [tex]377^oC[/tex]
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
[tex]15200J=105g\times c\times 377^oC[/tex]
[tex]c=0.384J/g^oC[/tex]
Therefore, the specific heat of copper is, [tex]0.384J/g^oC[/tex]
