How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of o.367 kg of copper from 23.0 C to 60.0 C? the specific heat of copper is 0.0920 cal/ (g x C) ( I don't have the degree symbol on my computer so I did the best that I could).

Remember, $$q = mC \Delta T$$ The change in temperature is going to be the final temperature minus the initial temperature. C is your specific heat and m is just the mass. Make sure your units match, though.
