Question

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 2 kg of copper from 20º to 30ºC. The specific heat of copper is 390 J/kgºC.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Answer 1

7800 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Heat needed = mass of copper x specific heat of copper x change in temperature

Change in temperature = 30ºC - 20ºC = 10ºC

Specific heat of copper = 390 J/kgºC

Mass of copper = 2 Kg

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get –

Heat needed = 2 Kg x 390 J/kgºC x 10ºC

= 7800 J
