1375 J of heat energy are added to a 50.0 g sample of copper, which increases temperature from 22.8 C to 94.2 C. Calculate the specific heat of copper.

0.385 J/g°C

Explanation:

Using the following formula, the specific heat of an elemental substance can be calculated:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = quantity of heat (J)

m = mass (g)

c = specific heat capacity (J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

Based on the given information, Q = 1375J, m = 50g, initial temperature = 22.8°C, final temperature = 94.2°C, c =?

Q = m × c × ∆T

1375 = 50 × c × (94.2 - 22.8°C)

1375 = 50 × c × 71.4

1375 = 3570c

c = 1375/3570

c = 0.3851

c = 0.385 J/g°C

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
