How much heat is required to heat a piece of copper weighing 4 kg from 25 ° C to 50 ° C?

Heat capacity of copper C = 400 J / kg oC.

Temperature before heating t1 = 25 ° C after t2 = 50 ° C.

Copper mass m = 4 kg.

1. The amount of heat is determined by the formula:

Q = C * m * (t2 – t1)

2. We consider: Q = C * m * (t2 – t1) = 400 * 4 * (50 – 25) = 40,000 J = 40 kJ

Answer: Q = 40 kJ
