QuestionCalculate the energy needed to heat 6900 g of copper from 15.88°C to 27.87°C using specific heat $0.3850 \, \text{J/(g°C)}$.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the energy required to heat the copper tubing.
$$Energy =6900g \\times0.3850 J/(g. ^{\circ}C) \\times11.99^{\circ}C =31,597.615 J$$The amount of energy required to heat the section of copper tubing from15.88 degrees Celsius to27.87 degrees Celsius is31,597.615 Joules.
