How much energy does a copper sample absorb as heat if its specific heat is 0.384 J/g.°C, its mass is 8.00 g, and it is
heated from 10.0°C to 40.0°C?

Respuesta :

Answer:

.0016

Explanation:

For specific heat problems you use the formula :

Q = mcΔT

They've given you the m, c and delta T, so you can plug in those values. (for the temperature change subtract 10 from 40 to see that it grew 30 degrees)

You're looking for Q so leave that variable in the equation. Then solve.

.Q = (8.00)(.384)(30)

Q = 92.16

92.16 J energy will be absorbed by a copper sample.

Given:

Specific heat  capacity, C= 0.384 J/g °C

Temperature, T₁ = 10.0°C and T₂= 40.0°C

Mass, m=8.00 g

We know that,

The specific heat capacity is defined as the quantity of heat (J) absorbed per unit mass (g) of the material when its temperature increases or 1 °C, and its unit is J/g °C.

Heat energy in terms of specific heat energy can be calculated by using this formula:

Q= m. C. ΔT

∵ΔT= change in temperature,

ΔT=40.0-10.0°C=30°C

Now substituting the values in the above formula.

[tex]Q= 8.0*0.384*30=92.16J[/tex]

Hence, 92.16 J energy will be absorbed by a copper sample.
