Answer:
1238 J
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Mass of copper (m): 535.0 g
- Specific heat of copper (c): 0.3850 J/g.°C
- Initial temperature: 15.29°C
- Final temperature: 21.30°C
Step 2: Calculate the change in the temperature
We will use the following expression.
ΔT = 21.30°C - 15.29°C = 6.01°C
Step 3: Calculate the energy required to heat the temperature of the copper tubing (Q)
We will use the following expression.
Q = c × m × ΔT
Q = 0.3850 J/g.°C × 535.0 g × 6.01°C
Q = 1238 J
