A 2.3 kg block of copper is heated at atmospheric pressure such that its temperature increases from 6 oC to 90 oC. How much heat (in J) is absorbed by the block of copper? The specific heat of copper is 0.092 (kcal/(kgoC))

Answer:

the  heat absorbed by the block of copper is 74368.476J

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the heat applied to a system is the difference between the initial and final energy considering that the mass and the specific heat do not change so we can infer the following equation

Q=mCp(T2-T1)

Where

Q=heat

m=mass=2.3kg

Cp=0.092 kcal/(kg C)=384.93J/kgK

T2=Final temperatura= 90C

T1= initial temperature=6 C

solving

[tex]Q=(2.3kg)(384.93\frac{J}{kgC} )(90C-6C)=74368.476J[/tex]

the  heat absorbed by the block of copper is 74368.476J
