QuestionHow much energy is needed to heat 620.0 g of copper from 14.25°C to 23.05°C if specific heat is 0.3850 J/(g°C)?
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The weight of the copper tubing is620.0 g. The initial temperature of the copper tubing is
3. The final temperature of the copper tubing is
4. The specific heat of copper is . )
STEP 2
We need to find the energy required to heat the copper tubing. We can use the formula for heat transfer, which iswhere- is the heat energy, - is the mass of the substance, - is the specific heat of the substance, and- is the change in temperature.
STEP 3
First, we need to calculate the change in temperature, which is the final temperature minus the initial temperature
STEP 4
Now, plug in the given values for the initial and final temperatures to calculate the change in temperature
STEP 5
Calculate the change in temperature
STEP 6
Now that we have the change in temperature, we can substitute all the known values into the heat transfer formula to calculate the heat energy
STEP 7
Plug in the values for the mass, specific heat, and change in temperature to calculate the heat energyq =620.0 \mathrm{~g} \cdot0.3850 \mathrm{~J} /\left(\mathrm{g}\right.$. ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ) \cdot.{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
STEP 8
Calculate the heat energyq =620.0 \mathrm{~g} \cdot0.3850 \mathrm{~J} /\left(\mathrm{g}\right.$. ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ) \cdot8.8{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} =2090 \mathrm{~J}The energy required to heat the section of the copper tubing from to is .
