How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.360 kg of copper from 23.0 ∘c to 60.0 ∘c? the specific heat of copper is 0.0920 cal/(g⋅∘c

The quantity of heated needed to raise the temperature of 0.36kg of copper  is 1.22544 calories

Given Data

Mass of Copper = 0.360kg

initial Temperature =  23.0 ∘C

Final Temperature =  60.0 ∘C

Specific Heat Capacity of copper = 0.0920 cal/(g⋅∘C

We know that the expression to find the Quantity of heat needed is

Q = mcΔT

Substituting our given parameters into the expression we have

Q = 0.36*0.0920*(60-23)

Q = 0.36*0.0920*(37)

Q = 0.03312*37

Q = 1.22544 Joules
