how much energy would it take to heat a section of the copper tubing that weights about 660.0 gram, from 12.93 degree Celsius to 23.35 degree Celsius? Copper has a specific heat of 0.3850 J / (g• degree Celsius)

Q = 2647 J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required by one Kg of a substance to raise its temperature by 1 °C.

In thermodynamics the equation used is as follow,

Q = m Cp ΔT

Where;

Q = Heat = ?

m = mass = 660 g

Cp = Specific Heat Capacity = 0.3850 J. g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

ΔT = Change in Temperature = 23.35 °C - 12.93 °C = 10.42 °C

Putting values in eq. 1,

Q = 660 g * 0.3850 J. g⁻¹.°C⁻¹ * 10.42 °C

Q = 2647 J
