How many calories are required to heat 100grams of copper from 10celsius to 100celsius? The specific heat of copper is 0.093cal/g celsius.
To calculate the amount of calories required to heat 100 grams of copper from 10 Celsius to 100 Celsius, we can use the formula:
Q = m * c * ΔT
Where:
Q is the heat energy required (in calories)
m is the mass of the substance (in grams)
c is the specific heat capacity (in cal/g Celsius)
ΔT is the change in temperature (in Celsius)
Given:
m = 100 grams
c = 0.093 cal/g Celsius
ΔT = 100 Celsius - 10 Celsius = 90 Celsius
Plugging in the values, we get:
Q = 100 grams * 0.093 cal/g Celsius * 90 Celsius
Calculating this equation, we find:
Q = 837 calories
Therefore, it would require 837 calories to heat 100 grams of copper from 10 Celsius to 100 Celsius.
To calculate the number of calories required to heat a given amount of copper, you can use the equation:
Q = m * c * ΔT
where Q represents the heat energy transferred, m represents the mass of the substance, c represents the specific heat capacity, and ΔT represents the change in temperature.
In this case, we have:
m = 100 grams (given)
c = 0.093 cal/g°C (given)
ΔT = (100°C - 10°C) = 90°C
Now, let's substitute the given values into the equation:
Q = 100g * 0.093 cal/g°C * 90°C
Calculating this gives us:
Q = 837 cal
Therefore, it would require 837 calories to heat 100 grams of copper from 10°C to 100°C.
