How many joules are produced when 45 gram of copper is placed into water that releases them temperature from 12c to 71c (c) = 0.75j/g*c

Heat energy (Q) = 1.9925 KJ = 2 KJ (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of copper (M) = 45 gram

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 71°C - 12°C = 59°C

Specific heat (c) = 0.75 j / g*c

Find:

Heat energy (Q) = ?

Computation:

Heat energy (Q) = Mass (M) * Change in temperature (ΔT) * Specific heat (c)

Heat energy (Q) = 45 gram * 59°C * 0.75 j / g*c

Heat energy (Q) = 1991.25 J

Heat energy (Q) = 1.9925 KJ = 2 KJ (Approx)
