Question

Copper has a specific heat of 0.38 J/gram-degree
How many joules of energy are required to heat 375 grams of copper from 25.0oC to 90.0oC ?

Answer 1

\[Q= mc \Delta T\]

Answer 2

c= 0.38 J/gram-degree
m= 375 grams
Delta T = change in temperature so 90- 25 = 65

Answer 3

energy value will be positive because temperature increases
if temperature was to drop- then you would have your energy value with negative sign
