Answer
Given,
Mass of copper (m) = 200 g = 0.2 kg
Change of temperature (△t) = (70 - 20)°C = 50°C
Specific heat capacity of copper (c) = 390 J kg-1 K-1
Amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 0.2 kg of copper = ?
From relation,
Q = m x c x △t
Substituting the values in the formula above we get,
Q = 0.2 x 390 x 50 = 3900 J
Hence, the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 200 g of copper from 20° C to 70° C = 3900 J
