Question 16

An industrial copper component with a mass of 2.50 kg is heated in a furnace.

Calculate the thermal energy required to increase the temperature of the copper component by 120 ∘C120\text{ }^\circ\text{C}120 ∘C.

Specific heat capacity of copper = 390 J/kg ∘C390\text{ J/kg }^\circ\text{C}390 J/kg ∘C

Use the equation:

ΔE=m×c×Δθ \Delta E = m \times c \times \Delta\theta ΔE=m×c×Δθ
