Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A 2 kg block of copper (specific heat capacity ≈ 0.385 J/g°C) is heated from 20°C to 100°C. Calculate the total heat energy required in Joules.
💡 Hint: Ensure all units are in grams for consistency.
A liquid with a specific heat capacity of 4.2 J/g°C is heated from 30°C to 90°C in a calorimeter that absorbs no heat. If the mass of the liquid is 500 g, how much heat is gained?
💡 Hint: Remember to apply the equation correctly by setting the temperature differences.
