Cooper metal has a specific heat of 390 j/kg C. Calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 22.8 g of copper to 875 C

Answer:
= 7,600 Joules
Explanation:
Heat required to raise the temperature of a material is given by the formula;
Heat = mass × specific heat capacity × change in temperature.
In this case;
mass =22.8 g or 0.0228 kg
specific heat capacity = 390 J/kg°C
Temperature change = 875°C - 20°C = 855 °C
Therefore;
Heat = 0.0228 kg × 390 ×855
= 7,602.66 Joules
= 7,600 Joules
