6.0 g of copper was heated from 20 degree c to 90 degree c . How much energy was used to heat cu?

Respuesta :

Copper heat capacity would be 0.385J/C*gram which means it needs 0.385 Joule of energy to increase 1 gram of copper temperature by 1 Celcius. The calculation would be:
energy= heat capacity *mass * temperature difference
energy= 
0.385J/C*gram * 6g * (90-20)
energy= 161.7J
