Copper has a specific heat of 0.386 J/g°C. How much heat is required to increase 5.00 g of copper from 0.0°C to 10.0°C?

A 3.86 J
B 5.00 J
C 10.0 J
D 19.3 J

Respuesta :

the answer is 19.3 j

Answer: D)  19.3 J

Explanation:

Using the equation below:

[tex]Q= m\times c\times \Delta T[/tex]

Q= heat gained  by copper = ?

m= mass of copper = 5.0 g

[tex]\Delta T[/tex]  = change in temperature =[tex](10-0)^0C=10^0C[/tex]

c = heat capacity of copper = 0.386 J/g ° C      

Putting in all the values we get:

[tex]Q=5g\times 0.386J/g^0C\times 10^0C[/tex]

[tex]Q=19.3Joules[/tex]

Thus heat gained by 5 g of copper is 19.3 Joules.
