Question

A 55.0-g piece of copper wire is heated, and the temperature of the wire changes from 19.0 c to 86.0 c. The amount of heat absorbed is 343 cal. What is the specific heat of copper? Show work

Answer 1

Q = mass x specific heat x delta T 343 = 55.0 x specific heat ( 86.0 - 19.0 ) 343 = 3685 x specific heat specific heat = 0.0931 cal /g°C
