How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.367 kg of copper from 23.0 C to 60.0 C? The specific heat of copper is 0.0920 cal / (g x C)

If 125 cal of heat is applied to a 60.0 g - piece of copper at 23.0 C, what will the final temperature be? The specific heat of copper is 0.0920 cal / (g x C)

Note: We must keep the units we use consistent. The Cp is given in cal/gC so we will use cal for energy, grams for mass and C for temperature.

1)

Heat supplied can be calculated using:

Q = mCpΔT; where m is the mass, Cp is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the temperature change.

Q = 367 x 0.092 x (60 - 23)

Q = 125 Cal

2)

Using the same equation:

125 = 60 x 0.092 x (T - 23)

T = 45.6 C
