How much energy (joules) is needed to heat 250 grams of copper from 22 °C to 99 °C? The specific heat capacity (C) of copper is 0.386 J/g°C.

Respuesta :

Answer:

7430.5 Joules (7.4*10^4 Joules)

Explanation:

Q=mc∆T

where Q is energy in Joules.

Now m=250 g

c= 0.386 J/g°C

∆T = 99 - 22 = 77 °C

plugging the values in gives

Q=250*0.386*77=7430.5 Joules

(7.4*10^4 Joules, if 2 significant figures)
