The specific heat capacity of solid copper metal is 0.385 j/gk. how many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of a 1.55-kg block of copper from 33.0°c to 77.5°c? the specific heat capacity of solid copper metal is 0.385 j/gk. how many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of a 1.55-kg block of copper from 33.0°c to 77.5°c? 5.58 × 10-6 j 1.79 × 105 j 0.00558 j 2.66 × 104 j 26.6 j

26.6 J

Explanation:

The heat needed to raise the temperature of a solid body, using only  a conductive process, has been empirically showed to be equal to the following expression:

Q= c . m.  (t2 – t1)

where c= specific heat capacity (in J/gK), m= mass of the solid (in g) ,

and (t2 - t1)= difference between final and initial temperatures.

Replacing by the values, we get:

Q= 0.385 J/gK . 1,550 g. (77.5ºC – 33.0ºC)= 26.6 J

answer: the rock sample is a sedimentary rock.

explanation:

it is given that:

mass of rock sample, m = 2.7 g

volume of rock sample,

so, density of rock sample will be

since, the density of rock sample is . hence, the rock sample is a sedimentary rock, whose densities varies between .
