Answer:
Q = 1737.61J
Explanation:
Mass of copper = 30.96g
Initial temperature (T1) = 5.6°C
Required temperature or final temperature of the metal (T2) = 151°C
Specific heat capacity of copper = 0.386J/g°C
Heat energy required (Q) = ?
Heat energy (Q) = mc∇T
Q = heat energy
M = mass of the material
∇T = change in temperature = T2 - T1
C = specific heat capacity of the material
Q = mc∇T
Q = 30.96 * 0.386 * (151 - 5.6)
Q = 11.95056 * 145.4
Q = 1737.61J
The energy required to heat up the metal is 1737.61J
