Copper has a specific heat capacity of 0.385 J/goC. If 12.8 g of copper initially has a temperature of 35.0 oC and it absorbs 367 J of heat, what will be its new temperature? please give me the process not just the answer
The relation between heat absorbed, mass of substance, specific heat capacity and temperature change is given by,
q=mcT,
where, q is heat absorbed, m is mass pf the substance, c is specific heat capacity T is difference between initial and final temperatures i.e., (Tf - Ti)
Given, q is 367 J, m is 12.8 gm, c is 0.385 J/g°C, Ti is 35.0°C, so we have to find Tf.
Putting all data in the equation,
367 = 12.8 × 0.385 × (Tf - 35)
Tf - 35 = 367/4.928 = 74.47
So, Tf = 74.47 + 35 = 109.47 °C = 109 °C
