Calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature?

Question

Copper metal has a specific heat of 0.385 J/g·°C. Calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 22.8 g of Cu from 20.0°C to 875°C.

A. 1.97 × 10−5 J
B. 1.0 × 10−2 J
C. 329 J
D. 7.51 kJ
E. 10.5 kJ

Answer 1

Use
dQ = m c dT where dQ = amount of heat, m = mass of sample, c = specific heat, and dT = temperature change

dQ = (22.8gm)*(0.385 J/gm/C)*(875 -20) C

dQ = 7.51x10^3 J = 7.51 kJ ---> D
