How much heat has to be added to 508 g of copper at 22.3°C to raise the temperature of the copper to 49.8°C? (The specific heat of copper is 0.377 J/g·°C.)

Q = 5267J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of copper (S) = 0.377 J/g·°C.

Q = MSΔT

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT=49.8 - 22.3 = 27.5C

Q = change in energy = ?

M = mass of substance = 508g

Q = (508g) * (0.377 J/g·°C) * (27.5C)

Q = 5266.69J

Approximately, Q = 5267J
