How to Calculate Specific Heat of the metal?

When a 5.82-kg piece of copper metal is heated from 20.5 degrees C to 314.3 degrees C, calculate the heat absorbed (in kJ) by the metal, the specific heat of copper?

  • Answer:

    (mass) (?t) (Cp) = (mass) (?t) (Cp)(59.047 g) (72.2 °C) (x) = (100.0 g) (4.1 °C) (4.184 J g¯1 °C¯1)x = 0.402 J g¯1 °C¯1
