Question

How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.363kg of copper from 23.0C to 60.0C ? The specific heat of copper is 0.0920 cal/(g*C)

Answer 1

What if we use the equation \[q=cm \Delta T\]

Answer 2

make sure you swtich from KG to Grams

Answer 3

What do those variables mean? Sorry, I never took chemistry in high school and when I got to college I was kind of just forced into it because of my major so I really don't know anything.

Answer 4

q is heat, C=specific heat, m=mass

Answer 5

\[q=(363 g)(.0920)(37)\]

Answer 6

and your units are cal

Answer 7

All right. It kind of makes sense. Thanks!
