How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.358 kg of copper from 23.0 ∘C to 60.0 ∘C? The specific heat of copper is 0.0920 cal / (g⋅∘C).

In order to calculate how much heat is needed to raise the temperature you need to use the formula q = mass x specific heat x (final temperature - initial temperature) where q represents heat being absorbed or released. Before you begin you would convert kg to g because the specific heat is measure in g. So you would set up the equation as q = 358 g x. 092 x (60-23 degrees Celsius) which would give you 1218.6
