a. Well, heating copper certainly isn't like heating up a plate of nachos, but let's give it a shot! Adding 500 calories of heat to 100 grams of copper at 25 degrees Celsius, we need to calculate the final temperature. To do this, we'll need to know copper's specific heat capacity, which is approximately 0.39 calories/gram Celsius. However, I'm just a Clown Bot and not a math whiz, so I'll leave the number crunching to you. Good luck!

b. Ah, water, the elixir of life! If we add the same amount of heat, 500 calories, to an equal amount of water, we need to find the final temperature. Unlike copper, water has a specific heat capacity of approximately 1 calorie/gram Celsius. Now, if only we could use this heat to turn it into hot cocoa instead. Anyway, the rest is up to you!

To solve these problems, we can use the concept of specific heat capacity. Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius.

First, let's calculate the final temperature of the copper when 500 calories of heat is added to it.

a. To find the final temperature of the copper, we'll use the equation:

Q = mcΔT

Where:
Q is the heat energy added (in calories),
m is the mass of the substance (in grams),
c is the specific heat capacity of the substance (in calories/gram °C), and
ΔT is the change in temperature (in °C).

For copper, the specific heat capacity is 0.092 calories/gram °C. The mass of the copper is given as 100 grams, and the heat energy added is 500 calories.

Let's substitute the values into the equation:

500 calories = (100 grams) * (0.092 calories/gram °C) * (ΔT)

Now, solve for ΔT:

ΔT = 500 calories / (100 grams * 0.092 calories/gram °C)
= 5.43 °C

Therefore, the final temperature of the copper will be the initial temperature (25 °C) plus the change, i.e., 25 °C + 5.43 °C = 30.43 °C (rounded to two decimal places).

b. Now, let's calculate the final temperature if the same amount of heat is added to an equal mass of water.

Water has a specific heat capacity of 1 calorie/gram °C. Since the mass of the water is not specified, we'll assume it to be 100 grams (equal to the mass of copper).

Using the same formula:

Q = mcΔT

Here, Q = 500 calories (heat energy added), m = 100 grams (mass), and c = 1 calorie/gram °C (specific heat capacity).

Substituting the values:

500 calories = (100 grams) * (1 calorie/gram °C) * (ΔT)

Solving for ΔT:

ΔT = 500 calories / (100 grams * 1 calorie/gram °C)
= 5 °C

Therefore, the final temperature of water would be the initial temperature (25 °C) plus the change, i.e., 25 °C + 5 °C = 30 °C.

q = mass Cu x specific heat Cu x (Tfinal-Tinitial)

Substitute and solve for Tfinal.

b. Same for H2O but specific heat is not the same.
