Asked by Sandy

I don't know how to do this question, or even start it. Please Help. 2 kg copper kettle (specific heat capacity 0.385j/gC) has .0500 kg of water at 20C. How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of the kettle and content to 80C?
Answered by DrBob222
total heat needed = heat to raise Cu kettle + heat to raise the water.

total q = [(mass Cu kettle x specific heat Cu x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] + [(mass H2O x specific heat H2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial)]
Solve for total q.
